Equipment Certification Training
True North Safety Certifications offers online equipment operator awareness training for a wide range of heavy and mobile equipment used across Canadian construction, oil and gas, mining, agriculture, and warehousing industries. These theory-based courses provide workers with the foundational knowledge required before hands-on practical evaluation — helping employers meet their due diligence obligations and document worker training. A competency assessment conducted by a qualified person at your worksite is required to complete full operator certification.
Disclaimer: These courses are intended for safety awareness only. Certificates issued do not replace employer responsibility for hands-on training, supervision, and competency assessment required for equipment operation.
