What’s in the Chip Spreader Training & Certification Course?

Our Introduction to chip spreader training course is regulation compliant, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on anticipating hazards, recognizing hazards, evaluating hazards, controlling hazards, and the chip spreader program.

During this training, we will be taking a look at how industrial hygiene principles apply to the workplace. We will go over how hygienists anticipate hazards and recognize those that are already present on the job. We will discuss how hygienists and employees can evaluate the severity of a given hazard and identify control methods. We will also look at the elements of a successful industrial hygiene program. To conclude the training, we will review some investigated case studies that illustrate the pitfalls of ignoring industrial hygiene principles.

This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required by Canada.
