About Safety Week
The Carpenter and Millwrights Trades College (CMTC), partnering with the Nova Scotia Construction Safety Association (NSCSA), is pleased to offer our 2011 schedule for Safety Week Training.
By offering courses during the first full week of each month, we hope employers
and employees alike will be able to more easily plan regularly scheduled training,
along with work and other commitments.
Although primarily aimed at construction industry workers, the general public,
and other industry workers, are also welcome and encouraged to attend and
register for these quality courses.
Courses are held at the CMTC campus at 1000 Sackville Drive, Lower Sackville.
One of the core values of the College is “Safety First and Always”. This philosophy
is the basis for all training. The College is the only training institution in the
province to be certified by the Nova Scotia Construction Safety Association.
This plan - for regularly scheduled courses each month - is the first step in making training accessible to all workers in Nova Scotia. In addition to Safety Week, the College will respond to specific company requirements and challenges.
We encourage you to contact us to discuss Safety Training that is customized for your needs.
