This online Ground Disturbance 201 training course sets the new national standard above Level 2. The program contains the same content as the in-class Ground Disturbance 201 course, which includes approved content and delivery requirements of the “Ground Disturbance 201 (Supervisory) Safety Training Standard” of the Alberta Common Ground Alliance (ABCGA).
Whenever a new project breaks ground, employees are faced with a number of risks and regulations and job site safety becomes a major concern for supervisors, managers and workers. When heavy equipment is involved, local and national ground disturbance regulations will come into effect, impacting safety standards and workplace procedures. That is the reason why ASTEC Safety Inc., in accordance with (ABCGA) standards, created this online worker and supervisor course.
