The Pipeline Construction Association of Canada (PLCAC), through the Canadian Construction Sector Council and other key stakeholder groups, has prepared a DVD-based course and exam to address health and safety issues specific to pipeline construction in the oil and gas sectors. Every person who intends to work on a jobsite under PLCAC needs to pass this exam.

IPLOCA has adapted this course for the international industry to be used as a safety instructors tool. The course is intended to familiarise the worker with how to recognise, assess, and control hazards on the worksite. It has been designed to act as a complement to the other courses that may be required to take.

Brian will be your guide through 13 lessons made up of supporting video and audio to illustrate safe – and unsafe – practices. Multiple choice review quizzes reinforce learning. The course will cover the entire pipeline construction process from start to finish through the following chapters:

  • Course Introduction
  • Lesson 1: Work Preparation
  • Lesson 2: PPE and WHMIS Review
  • Lesson 3: Hazard Recognition and Control
  • Lesson 4: Front End Operational Hazards and Controls
