BISK – Basic Industrial Safety Knowledge

BISK is designed with new hires to industry in mind.  Participants are taught basic legislation, hazard identification and control, the selection, care and use of Personal Protective Equipment and selection, care and usage of basic tools.

Students are encouraged to be active in the program through discussion and excises throughout the program.  Specifically, the students identify the causes and effects of incidents, locate basic legislation for the province they work in, identify where in a safety manual they would find procedures needed for their job tasks, identify, assess, control and report hazards, select and don appropriate PPE, and discuss the proper use of tools common to their job.

Participants are assessed by their level of class participation and a written examination.
