Training & Education

Our Training Philosophy

OSSA is the first the safe workplace association dedicated to meeting the Health & Safety training and educational needs of Ontario's service sector. Here's how we work to ensure our programming succeeds:

1: Needs Assessment

OSSA works closely with clients in the field and the sector-specific Advisory Committees to assess and understand client training needs. OSSA works to assess the gaps between current performance and desired performance as they relate to Health & Safety, and designs training to fill those gaps where applicable.

2: Designing Training to Meet Your Needs

Once a training need has been identified, OSSA consultants recommend the most affordable, efficient solution available to meet your Health & Safety needs in a way that also supports your business goals. To ensure continual high quality, OSSA utilizes a program evaluation model that helps to assess the usefulness and value of new products from inception to completion.

3: Delivering Training That Really Works

During the training process, facilitators ensure that employees are given the opportunity to apply new skills to 'real life' situations and to learn by doing.

4: Evaluation - The Key to Success

Training participants must be able to achieve the performance expectations upon completion of training. OSSA training solutions:

  • Enable learners to apply their new skills and knowledge on the job
  • Contribute to client business goals and bottom-line results through improved performance
  • Meet the legislative needs of clients
  • Deliver a valuable, accessible learning experience
Your partner for a better tomorrow
