Health and Safety for Leaders eLearning

Important: On January 20, 2026, Human Resources launched a new Employee Learning Portal (external link, opens in new window) . This portal now houses legislatively required eLearning and all completed course records have been transferred to the new system. For more information, visit TMU’s new Employee Learning Portal now live! (opens in new window) 

This is required eLearning for all leaders. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), all supervisors are required to complete health and safety competency training within one week of their hire.  The OHSA defines supervisors are those who have:

  • charge of a workplace, or 
  • authority over a worker

What is the eLearning module about?

Health and Safety for Leaders covers the following topics:

  • the definition and importance of the leader role,
  • the structure and function of the Internal Responsibility System, 
  • how to perform university health and safety processes,
  • how to apply the Prevention Philosophy and 13 Factors of Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace in your role as a health, safety and wellbeing leader, and
  • where to find additional tools and resources for support.

Who is required to complete the training?

Leaders are required to complete under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act.

While you may have completed other supervisory health and safety training, this program reflects current regulatory requirements as well as our EHS policy.  We are asking that all leaders complete this course within three months.  

Once you’ve completed a module, you’ll receive a certificate which you can provide to your leader for their records.

How long will it take to complete the training?

The Health and Safety for Leaders training will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
