SAF9100/MAS9000 – Safety and Masonry

Course Description

Emphasis is placed on preparing students to work safely in workshops and on construction sites. Students learn safe practices when operating equipment and identify appropriate personal protective equipment. Students locate and apply regulations from the Occupational Health and Safety Act involving ladders, scaffolds and all significant aspects of safety in the workplace. Successful students receive certification in Fall Arrest and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) in accordance with the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA).

Course selection points to consider: 2/3 of course time is focused on safety. We have added an additional 15 hours per week of instruction so that Dual Credit students can apply their learning in a lab setting. Upon successful completion students will receive an exemption for SAF9100.
