For IST to conduct the equipment evaluation, participants must ensure:

About Training In The North
Due to the distance between many northern communities, most in-person safety training in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories must be scheduled in advance. To keep costs down, we coordinate group sessions by bringing together multiple businesses in the same area. If your organization requires training, let us know — we’ll work to organize a session and connect with others in your region. When visiting smaller communities, we offer as many courses as possible to support continued health and safety compliance. To be notified of upcoming training in your area, please contact us today.
