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.

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. 4 Armour Safety | Catalogue of Training & Ser vices 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. Armour Safety | Catalogue of Training & Ser vices 5 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY TRAINING 6 Armour Safety | Catalogue of Training & Ser vices INDUSTRIAL SAFETY TRAINING GROUP COURSES 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.
