National Public Safety Officer Program
Our National Public Safety officers evaluate and monitor health and safety hazards and develop strategies to control risks in the workplace. They inspect, investigate, and give advice for First Nation operations to ensure compliance with workplace safety Acts, and regulations, as well as handling and storage of hazardous substances.

Why we offer this program
External governmental influences from the federal, provincial and municipal laws regarding safety are used on all level of operations. These laws often differ from one jurisdiction to another; however, they are based on the common belief that a worker’s health and safety must be protected.
The specific regulations that govern depend on a combination of conditions, people, equipment and materials needed for a job. As Federal Law requires members to abide by these set laws, members should be familiar with the Acts and Regulations that applies to the member under any work conditions. We have specific programs to allow these rules, regulations to be understood and to be aware of.
