Safety Through Education
Providing a safe working environment is a shared responsibility. Owners, managers, supervisors and workers must work together in partnership, not only in meeting safety regulations and guidelines, but in seeking new and better ways of improving safety practices and records. The C6 Safety Association is an important element in this partnership in safety.
One of our core mandates is safety through education. From in-house training to providing up-to-date information on the latest trends in safety related issues, we ensure our members possess the knowledge they need to keep safety a number one priority.
Training and education is always an on-going process, and we offer a broad range of programs covering the assessment, development and maintenance of safe work environments. That includes workshops and seminars specifically designed with members’ needs in mind, consultation with national and international industry safety professionals through the Association, an on-going commitment to excellence in education and service to our members.
C6 Safety offers all of the following courses to C6 members at no cost. Please contact us for further details and availability on the following programs, or on any other safety related issue or area you would like us to research.

Safe Practices Mean Lower Costs
Most accidents are preventable. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While the primary goal of any safety program is preventing the pain and suffering from work related injuries, an adherence to safe operating procedures is just plain good business. Keeping workers healthy and on the job means keeping the bottom line healthy as well. By avoiding preventable accidents and incidents that mean costly delays in production through lost time, and costly additions to the bottom line through added medical and treatment, a company can focus on staying competitive and delivering quality products and services.
