Safe Work Spaces: Empower. Prevent. Protect.

 Safe Work Spaces is a free and accessible workplace harassment and violence prevention training program for employees in federally regulated companies in the transportation industry sector. Our training was professionally developed by the Office of Continuing Education and Professional Development at the University of Prince Edward Island, in partnership with Employment and Social Development Canada, and funded by the Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Grant Fund.  

 Safe Work Spaces has been created for employees working in four federally regulated sectors: 

1. Road and Railway Transportation that crosses provincial or international borders.
2. Bridges, Pipelines, and Tunnels that cross provincial or international borders. 
3. Air Transportation - Airports, Airlines, and Aerodromes.
4. Marine Shipping, Port, and Ferry Services.

NOTHING! All of our training courses are 100% free for Canadian employees until March 2026.

Our team at Safe Work Spaces has created Manager and Employee level training streams that are available online and in person. Our online self-paced training is available in English or French.
