Oil Sands Safety Association = OSSA (correctly pronounced Oh-SA, not Oh-SHA), is a “non-profit organization made up of representatives from Syncrude Canada, Suncor Energy, Shell Albian Sands and Canadian Natural Resources, as well as volunteer members from the labor providers, union, area contractors and learning providers” [About OSSA].
If you are working on an Oil Sands member site, you will need the Oil Sands Safety Association version of Fall Protection (if working at heights), Elevated Work Platform (if working on man-lifts), and Confined Space Entry Monitor (if working in &/or monitoring confined spaces). More generally, OSSA courses have a good reputation, and are universally observed elsewhere in Alberta and usually in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Territories as well.
Lead Worker Awareness offers the basics of lead paint abatement including: uses of Lead in Industry and Construction, effects of lead on the human body, impact to the environment, contamination risks, lead regulations, (risk to children, take home routes, proper decontamination techniques, wash trailers, etc.), and Lead regulations in the Prairies.

Construction Safety Training System (CSTS-09) & Safety Construction Orientation Training (SCOT) are similar on-line programs required by various sites in Alberta and Saskatchewan, respectively. One does not replace the other; if you work in both provinces on industrial sites, you will likely need both.
If you require CSTS or SCOT, contact DC17 Training, for LINK, USERID and PASSWORD for either CSTS or SCOT.
