Contractor Orientation

What is the Contractor Orientation program?

 

In co-operation with Ontario mining companies, NORCAT has developed a common Contractor Orientation Program.

 

The two-hour program focuses on:

1.The safety rules and proper working practices for construction workers, and

2.The general rules of conduct and work etiquette required of contractors working on company properties.

NORCAT's Computer-Based Training materials ensure that the quality of the training program remains consistent.

 

NORCAT's central database offers clients easy access to accurate training documentation.

 

A successfully trained participant receives a NORCAT Contractor Pass. The NORCAT security pass allows the holder access to properties of participating companies.
