A core interactive course of 11 interactions and 7 validated competencies where learners rehearse recognizing the alarm, taking the right first action, and reaching the muster point. It makes the emergency plan something workers can execute under pressure, not a binder on the shelf.
When an emergency happens — a fire, a medical crisis, a chemical release, a tornado, a power failure, or a violent threat — there is no time to figure out what to do. The response has to be planned, known, and practised in advance. This course teaches every worker to recognize the types of workplace emergencies and the correct first action for each, to know what a workplace emergency response plan contains and where to find it, to evacuate correctly (respond to the alarm, take the nearest safe route, reach the muster point for the headcount), to know when to shelter-in-place instead of evacuating, to understand the emergency roles (person in charge, floor wardens, first aiders) and the communication path, and to take part in drills. The online theory establishes the Trained state; the employer records the site confirmations (the drill, the route and muster point, the plan, and the roles) as the Observed state, signed off as Competent.
Equip every worker to respond correctly in the first seconds of an emergency — recognize the type, raise the alarm, evacuate or shelter as the hazard requires, reach the muster point for the headcount, and know the roles and the plan — so the workplace response is fast, orderly, and accounts for everyone.
Workers who need to understand their role, alarms, and evacuation and muster procedures within their site's emergency response plan.
Passing the final test issues a QR-verified certificate, valid for one year. Review training at least annually and whenever the plan, building, processes, or hazards change. Participate in drills as scheduled. Assigned emergency roles (warden, first aid) may require additional training. No exact mandatory theory-hour minimum is set in Manitoba law — industry/provider standard applies.
About 1 hour 10 minutes online, over 5 modules, at your own pace. It ends with a final test that needs 80% to pass.
One year from the day you pass. Review training at least annually and whenever the plan, building, processes, or hazards change.
