The Ministry of Labour has mandated construction workers in Ontario must take a Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) approved Working at Heights refresher course every 3 years.   If you completed an 8 hour CPO approved course after April 1stof 2015, than our refresher course will allow you to remain Ministry of Labour compliant.
