Employee Training and Orientation Requirements

Ontario workplace legislation mandates that new employees must receive a number of training orientations.

Here’s a starter list of training requirements for the new employees. This information will help them keep safe on the job and inform them about their rights:

  • Health & Safety Awareness Training (Worker and Supervisor)
  • Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Training
  • WHMIS Training
  • Workplace-specific health and safety hazard training
  • NEW: Beginning in June 2015, all workers must be given a copy of the Employment Standards Act Poster “What You Should Know”.

More information about Health & Safety and Employment Standards is available at the Ministry of Labour website.
