•PIN’s – generic one time use access to the registration system online. PIN’s are not tied to

a user in any way. It is given to them so that they can gain access to register as a user into a user in any way. It is given to them so that they can gain access to register as a user into

the SCOT course. Once they have registered and have a USER ID they no longer require this

PIN.

•User ID – is the ID that is ties the student to the SCOT course. This is their individual

access to their course and student information. They will always use this ID to enter the

course.

Safety Construction Orientation Training -Module Summary 1

Safety Construction Orientation Training (SCOT) Module Summary

Introduction – The Safety Construction Orientation Training (SCOT) program is an interactive, online-training course composed of twelve modules, each focused on a different fundamental aspect of worksite safety. The program begins with an introductory module that describes the content, purpose and important practical information necessary to help participants navigate through the training experience. Workplace Law – This module focuses on vital health and safety legislation designed to protect the health and safety of Saskatchewan workers. The important legal and ethical responsibilities of workers and employers are explained. Participants are also introduced to incident reporting and tool box talks used to improve worksite safety. Workplace Hazards – Hazard recognition is a skill that all workers need to stay safe on the worksite. This module introduces participants to common types of hazards found in the construction industry, how to assess their severity and the different control methods employed to prevent incidents from occurring. Managing Worksite Conditions and Equipment – The Saskatchewan worksite can be a particularity dynamic environment due to constant changes in weather, a diverse workforce, and increasingly complex building projects. As a result, hazards associated with housekeeping, slips, trips, falls, and materials need to be recognized. General tool safety guidelines including rotating machinery, air, electric and powder actuated tools are also discussed in this module. Personal Physical Care and Conduct - Working in the construction industry requires substantial physical health and stamina. In this module, ways to care for your body to prevent injuries and the impacts of drugs and alcohol on your ability to work safely are examined. Professional behaviour and conduct on the worksite are also part of this module. WHMIS – The construction industry uses various chemicals and materials that could be harmful to your health if not handled correctly. In this module you will learn the purpose of Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), responsibilities of workers, suppliers and employers, WHMIS labelling, and the function of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) in protecting yourself from the dangers of hazardous materials. By successfully completing this module, you will receive a generic WHMIS certificate. Powered Mobile Equipment – Powered mobile equipment (PME) is used for many purposes in the construction industry. It is important to operate and work near this equipment safely to avoid injury. In this module you will be introduced to the different types of powered mobile equipment, Saskatchewan specific legislation regarding training of PME operators, how to conduct a pre-job walk around of a machine and how to work safely around this equipment. Ladder and Scaffold Safety – Some of the most common tools used on construction sites today include ladders and scaffolds. They can also be major sources of injuries due to falls and improper use.

Safety Construction Orientation Training -Module Summary 2

In this module, a brief introduction to different types of ladders and scaffolds is provided. Correct setup, usage, and contraction, along with understanding scaffold tags are also discussed. Fall Protection – Fall protection is a serious hazard in commercial, industrial or residential construction. As part of this module you will learn about the basic fall protection equipment used in construction, worker and employer responsibilities for working at heights, and common fall protection inspection points. Environmental Safety – Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility. This module will help you do this by introducing you to typical types of pollutants found in the construction industry, what to do in case of an accidental release of hazardous materials and general Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) requirements. Excavating and Trenching – Any excavation has the potential to harm workers that are not properly informed of the risks associate with digging and how to prevent these hazards from becoming incidents. In addition, this module explains hazards, different soil types and their properties, and important safety precautions that should be part of all digging operations. Defensive Driving – Whether you are driving to work, from work, or operating a piece of equipment on the worksite, it is important to practice safe, defensive driving techniques. In this module, specific Saskatchewan driving legislation, defensive driving techniques and typical causes of motor vehicle accidents are discussed. Personal Protective Equipment – Although it is your last-line of defence in the prevention of injury, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a regular part of the construction clothing worn in Saskatchewan. This module explains the role of PPE on the job, basic PPE found in the construction industry, and when specialized PPE is necessary. Emergency Response – Prevention of incidents is always the best plan in preventing injury; however, when precautions fail, it is necessary to know your emergency response plan. Here, key emergency response plan elements, how to access first aid on the worksite, and basic fire fighting techniques are explained.

Click on the SCOT link once you have received a PIN number.

PIN’s are issued to individuals as a way to access the system prior to submitting the student

registration. Issue a PIN number to a user. The User will enter that number in the “Use a registration. Issue a PIN number to a user. The User will enter that number in the “Use a

PIN” section which will then prompt the user to register as a student. Once registered

information has been submitted a User ID will be generated and show on the screen (see

next few slides) an email with their information will also be automatically sent to the email

they provided in the registration.

The user ID ties the student to the course and allows then entry into the course.

1. This “box” is where a company “clicks” to purchase PIN’s

2. This “box” is where a user “clicks” to enter a PIN they have purchased or distributed to

a student.

3. This “box” is where a student “enters” the User ID that was generated once they used

their PIN number to register as an individual (see next few slides)

Once the PIN has been used it is no longer “valid” and can not be used again.

8

This is the student registration page. They have enter their PIN at the top and the rest of

their student info. The PIN number is longer “good” once they “click” submit.their student info. The PIN number is longer “good” once they “click” submit.

Once the registration into the course has been submitted this screen will show the user

their USER ID. their USER ID.

Note: the user will also receive an email with the same information that shows on the

screen. The user should make sure they enter a correct email in order to recover their USER

ID if they have forgotten it or did not write it down.

Go back to the login page as before or go directly to:

http://calvin.scsaonline.ca/Public_eLearning/

Enter the USER ID that was generated for the user in the USER ID box.

11

The user can then navigate through the modules starting with the Introduction that shows

the user how to use the course, the course controls, etc...the user how to use the course, the course controls, etc...

Note that the course must be completed in order and will only allow the user to continue

to the next module once they have successfully completed the previous module. They can

not “jump” from module to module in any order.

Once they have completed all the modules they will be allowed to “click” on the temporary

certificate where they will be prompted once again to enter their USER ID.

They can print the temporary certificate to use while they wait for the permanent wallet

card certificate to be sent to them.
