Important Note: Career Safety Education has undergone a number of improvements that took effect January 1, 2023. The programs are now available to everyone in Saskatchewan. New programs have been added, and the processes for registration and participation streamlined. 

Career Safety Education (CSE) is the first program of its kind in North America. While the emphasis is on new and young workers, CSE provides universal access to completely FREE safety training for everyone in Saskatchewan.

​Thanks to generous partners, sponsors, members, and donors we are proud to deliver free online training to new and experienced workers everywhere in Saskatchewan.

​For youth prior to their entry into the workforce, new workers starting in a new job or industry, or new Canadians just having moved to Saskatchewan, this series of workplace safety training programs results in the development of a workforce with an increased knowledge of hazards and a better understanding of how to manage risks.

This program nurtures an understanding of injury prevention theories that will result in fewer injuries in workplaces, during recreational activities, in and around homes, and on Saskatchewan roads.

All online components of CSE are specifically designed by industry safety experts to address the most common injuries to young and new workers in their respective fields.

The standard series of online components may be complemented with practical on-site training if a community or group can secure sponsorship to pay the delivery costs.

​To complete Career Safety Education, four foundation-building safety courses must be completed.

​The 4 Foundation Courses are:

1. New Worker Readiness
2. Mental Health Wellness Resiliency
3. Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS 2015)
4. Hearing Protection

After which, participants choose one or more industry courses from the list below – completing additional courses is encouraged.

1. Fall Protection Training
2. Ground Disturbance for Saskatchewan Workers
3. Respiratory Protection Training
4. Retail Safety Training
5. Agriculture: OATS (Online Agriculture Training System)
   Relaunch slated for January 2023
6. Healthcare: WAVE (Workplace Assessment and Violence Education) Available only to those under 21 years of age.
7. Construction and Trades: SCOT (Safety Construction Orientation Training) Available only to those under 21 years of age.

New online courses are constantly being developed and are added to the list as they become available.

​More online courses will be added to the list as they become available.
