Fall protection, equipment inspection and CSA Z462 electrical safety awareness, taught against the Canadian standard. $495 as a bundle, group rates for crews.
Solar work puts inexperienced people on sloped roofs next to conductors that are live whenever the sun is up. Those are the two things that hurt people in this trade, and they are what this covers.
Ontario's Working at Heights certification is a specific provincial scheme delivered by providers approved for it, and other provinces have their own requirements. Where a candidate needs that specific certification, we arrange it with an approved provider rather than implying our course issues it. Check what your jurisdiction and your general contractor require before you book anything, here or anywhere.
Taught against CSA Z462, the Canadian workplace electrical safety standard. Most online solar safety content teaches NFPA 70E, its American counterpart. They are closely related and they are not the same document, and it is the Canadian one your inspector and your insurer will refer to.
Two groups. New entrants with no construction background, for whom the credential gets the interview and the safety tickets get them onto the roof. And employers onboarding a crew, who would rather do it once, properly, with attendance records on file, than discover the gap during an incident investigation.
Group rates for three or more, invoiced to the company, with attendance records issued for each person. On-site delivery at your premises where the headcount justifies the travel. This training supports your obligations; it does not discharge them, and it is not a substitute for your own hazard assessments, your site-specific procedures or your supervision.
Not by itself. Ontario Working at Heights is a specific approved-provider scheme; where you need it we arrange it through an approved provider. What we teach is the fall protection and electrical safety content a solar crew needs day to day.
The Z462 content will be partly familiar. The roof exposure usually is not, and PV-specific hazards — DC arc behaviour, a source that cannot be switched off at the sun — catch experienced trades out more often than you would expect.
The bundle runs over one long day, or two half days if a crew cannot lose a whole day at once.
Employer and jurisdictional refresher requirements vary and some are on a three-year cycle. Check what applies to your workplace; we will tell you what we know, but your regulator is the authority.
