A core interactive course of 11 interactions and 7 validated competencies covering spill response, waste handling, and reporting thresholds under Manitoba environmental regulation. Learners practice the field decisions that keep operations compliant before an action becomes a violation.
Protecting the environment is both a legal duty and a due-diligence responsibility, and it rests on everyone at work. This course equips every worker in Manitoba to prevent harm to the environment and stay on the right side of the law — Manitoba’s Environment Act, the federal Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), and, for hazardous waste, Manitoba’s Dangerous Goods Handling and Transportation Act.
Equip every worker to prevent and report spills and releases, manage waste and hazardous waste properly, protect air, water, and land, and work within environmental approvals — meeting Manitoba and federal environmental-compliance duties through due diligence.
Workers whose tasks involve spills, waste, emissions, or discharges subject to Manitoba environmental regulation.
Passing the final test issues a QR-verified certificate, valid for one year. Review training at least annually and whenever processes, chemicals, waste streams, or environmental approvals change.
This certificate records completion of knowledge training in environmental compliance in Manitoba — spill prevention and containment, and hazardous-waste handling — and it records the Trained state only. It does not establish that the holder can use a spill kit, stop a source and contain a release, or segregate and dispose of hazardous waste correctly: this course assesses them as knowledge only. Nor does it establish where this site's drains discharge, or what its approvals and environmental management plan require — those are the employer's, and they govern alongside The Environment Act (C.C.S.M. c. E125) and The Dangerous Goods Handling and Transportation Act (C.C.S.M. c. D12). Before the worker is relied on, the employer must observe them using a spill kit and containment on a sample spill and segregating and handling hazardous waste correctly, and sign those observations off as Competent. This training does not replace trained spill-responder training for a release beyond an incidental spill.
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 processes, chemicals, waste streams, or environmental approvals change.
