Member Health and Safety Training
Safety and training is an important factor for any job for all employees. IUPAT strives to provide the best health and safety training programs possible for member participation in all trades.
All members must be trained in all of the mandatory health & safety programs necessary (ie. WHMIS/fall protection) before they begin work with our contractors. If members do not have the required training, they will not be referred to job sites.
