Passport to Safety is a national safety awareness program. It tests your knowledge on health and safety issues in the workplace and allows you to track your health and safety training on an on-line, printable transcript.

Passport will provide core safety knowledge that may someday save you OR A FRIEND from disabling injury or even death. The Passport transcript is a tangible record of completed safety training. Safety training is a valuable addition to your resume. Member businesses may offer preferential hiring to Passport Card holders. The Passport transcript proves to ALL potential employers that you are self-motivated and committed to workplace health and safety.

1. To give you an edge over the competition when you are applying for a job 2. To show employers that you know safety on the job is necessary 3. To help you learn about being safe on the job (which could save your life!) and to access training programs applicable to your needs

Access to Passport to Safety is $9.00 plus $1.50 shipping and handling (for your wallet card) and applicable taxes. This price includes a lifetime membership, access to all Passport to Safety resources, the Passport to Safety test and a Passport to Safety wallet card.

After you purchase your membership you will be able to complete the Passport to Safety test. It asks you a series of questions about safety on the job. Once you have passed the test, it will be added to your printable Passport to Safety transcript as your first achievement!

We recommend you have received basic health and safety education before trying the test. If you choose to try the test without a prior training program and find it challenging the test will help you along with learning tips for each question you answer incorrectly.

Throughout the Passport test there is material you can read to help you pass the test. If you get a question wrong you will be given some information about the related safety topic and new questions until you get them right!

The test will save everything up to the last completed section for you to finish at a later date.

The Passport to Safety card is a wallet sized card and is shown on the front page of the Passport to Safety web site. It has your personal password and PIN number printed on it.

Paul Kells: Paul’s son Sean was killed on the third day of his part-time job at the age of 19. It wasn't an accident; it was preventable. Since that tragic day, Sean's father Paul Kells has made it his goal to help prevent any other family from experiencing the loss and pain that he and his family have experienced. Paul is the founder of the Safe Communities Foundation and the founder of the Passport to Safety Program. Candace Carnahan: Candace was in the third summer of employment at a paper mill while attending university. One day she took a short cut through the mill, as she and hundreds of others (including supervisors and managers) had done every day. While stepping across a conveyor belt on the floor her foot landed in exactly the wrong place at the wrong time. She was pulled into the machine and the outcome was the amputation of her leg below the knee. Candace is working as a spokesperson for the Passport to Safety program across Canada. You can read Candace’s full story on the website at www.passportosafety.com. Many organizations have given their support of the program, through financial donations and in kind assistance.

No! Your employer is legally responsible for providing you with job specific training. Passport to Safety ensures you know the basics so you're prepared to say no to unsafe work, to recognize hazards and ensure your employer provides you with all the training you need.
