INTRODUCTION
W
elcome to Armour Safety’s Catalogue of Services. In this manual
you’ll find everything you need to assist you in your efforts
to protect your people and your profits. From instruction on
working at heights to providing experienced safety consultants
on a worksite, we’ve got the service that you and your workers need to stay
safe and remain compliant.
But why choose Armour? What sets our services apart from the others that are out
there? All of our training courses have been developed by industry professionals in
consultation with trained educators. The result is a stable of legislatively compliant
courses that are designed to maximize student learning and retention. We know
that no two students learn alike. By employing a number of different teaching
strategies we offer all students a better chance of understanding and remembering
the course information.
What really sets our training head and shoulders above the rest, however, is our
instructors. We strive to find instructors who not only have relevant industry experience,
but who also employ the principals of adult learning as they teach. You pay a lot for
your training. You want your workers to retain what they learned, and so do we. Our
instructors are trained to engage the student and make them active learners. This helps
the training to stick, making you compliant, and your workers safer. Our instructors
love what they do and it shows. You will not ever sit in one of our classes and listen
to the instructor read from the manual.
But training is just the start. We also have a number of Construction Safety Officers
for hire to help you ensure your worksites are safely managed. They can manage your
existing safety program, or we can design a program for your unique needs.
We also provide standby medical, Fire and Rescue coverage. Armour Onsite is a joint
venture between Armour Safety, North East EMS, and Thurber Construction Safety and
Rescue Services. Through Armour Onsite we are able to provide a consistent supply of
trained professionals , along with up to date mobile units, so that you’ll have medical
Fire and Rescue coverage 24 hours a day when you need it. So read on, and thank you
for taking an interest in your own safety, as well as that of your workers.

Onsite Safety
Advisor Placement
Most companies are concerned about safety. However, it can
sometimes be challenging to dedicate a full time worker to
manage safety programs or oversee safety on a jobsite. We
provide an affordable alternative.
Our professional safety advisers are available on a contract
basis. You have a variety of service options available including advisers on retainer for safety consultation and officers
who can oversee and/or take a lead role in managing your
safety program.
Standby Emergency
Medical Services
(EMS)
Backed by a professional ambulance service, we are committed
to making your medical standby challenges easy by providing
quality paramedics. Our staff consists of highly motivated and
up-to date EMS professionals ranging from First Responder,
EMT-Basic, to Advanced Care Paramedics licenced through
the College of Paramedics.
Our teams can be onsite for any length of time and any type of
work environment. We can provide care as a single practitioner
or with a fully equipped ambulance. We adapt to your medical
needs.

ARMOUR SAFETY HEALTH SERVICES
Respirator Fit
Testing
Section 88 of Saskatchewan’s OH&S Regulations, 1996 make it clear that
where workers may be exposed to airbourne contaminants that may
present a hazard to workers, the employer is responsible to ensure that
the worker is provided with and uses respiratory protection. Furthermore,
where a tight fitting respirator is required, the employer must ensure
that the worker is fit-tested to ensure that the respirator forms a tight
seal with the workers skin.
The fit-testing process involves selecting the correct size and type of
respirator (mask) for each worker and ensuring that he/she knows how
to don, doff, use, and care for their respirator correctly. Armour provides
cost effective on-site quantitative Fit Testing which complies with the
relevant regulations and CSA standard.
Drug & Alcohol
Testing
Armour Safety utilizes expertly trained professionals to provide this service. Our professionals are trained through the Drug and Alcohol Testing
Association of Canada (DATAC). We provide drug and alcohol testing at
our approved DATAC site, or we can perform on site testing. Please call
for more information.
Audiometric Testing
The Saskatchewan OH&S Noise and Hearing Conservation Regulations provide a comprehensive framework for the control of noise at work. The regulations place a general
duty on employers to reduce the risk of hearing damage to the lowest level reasonably
practicable and contain other requirements which must been implemented when
certain noise levels are reached.
The Saskatchewan OH&S Noise and Hearing Conservation Regulations also indicates
that if there is a risk to the health of the employees exposed to noise, then the employer
shall ensure that such employees are placed under suitable health surveillance, which
includes testing their hearing.
Occupational Audiometry is a screening technique used to detect early damage to hearing
resulting from exposure to noise. Identifying any damage allows for follow-up remedial
action in the work-place and if necessary a medical referral. It is not a diagnostic technique.

Aerial Work
Platform
Aerial Work Platforms are commonly used in construction, inspection,
and repair services to lift employees to an elevated work position. Proper
operation and use of this equipment can make completion of tasks at
elevation safer and more efficient. Using aerial work platforms outside
of the manufacturer’s recommended parameters or exceeding the limit
capacities will result in equipment failure that could have fatal results.
Knowing and understanding the equipment limitations, operating
characteristics and maintenance and inspection requirements of aerial
work platforms will significantly reduce the risk of any accidental injury
or personal damage associated with this type of equipment.
This training is a combination of classroom
instruction and practical experience. The instruction portion covers all pertinent aspects of Table
14.1 of the Saskatchewan OH&S regulations. As
of 2007, Saskatchewan OH&S legislation requires
anyone who operates powered mobile equipment to have a minimum of 16 hours training.

Global Ground
Disturbance
Level II®
Global Ground Disturbance Level II® is designed
for any party that is supervising a ground disturbance, independently performing a ground
disturbance, or issuing and receiving ground
disturbance permits. The program ensures that
Level II® personnel are familiar with, and fully
understand, all the regulations (Sk, & AB.) and
variances involved when a ground disturbance
takes place.
The course is presented in a logical sequence
– from the pre-planning stage to the actual
dig – and highlights the “‘musts” compared
to the “shoulds”. Level II® is the standardized
program recognized by industry regulators.
Participants learn how to clarify sources when
searching for underground facilities, provide
notification to the facility owner and receive
owner notification.
Participants gain an understanding of the necessary approvals/crossing agreements and regulations necessary before creating a ground
16
disturbance. They learn to create a plot plan/site
drawing, gain an understanding of line locating
and learn about types of exposure. Participants
will also learn how to do a back-fill inspection, as
well as how to use permits and conduct pre-job
meetings. Emergency response plans and what
to do in case an underground facility is contacted
are also covered.
Objectives are tested by written competency
exam. Certification, valid for three years, is issued
