For Canadian workers and employers who need occupational health and safety training, eSafetyFirst offers online courses and certification in English and French. Its catalog includes WHMIS, fall protection, confined space, first aid, and workplace-violence training. Buyers can assign courses to individuals or groups, and workers can resume courses from their last position. The product is oriented toward purchasing and delivering courses, rather than serving as a broad training-management system.

Pricing is per course, with one-time charges that decrease by quantity band: CAD 17.95 for one course, CAD 15.95 each for 2–5, CAD 13.95 for 6–9, CAD 11.95 for 10–49, CAD 9.95 for 50–99, and CAD 8.95 for 100 or more. The published plans show no subscription pricing. This structure suits buyers selecting courses for a defined group, with lower per-course costs at higher volumes. Employers can use CSV imports, bulk actions, and branch management to organize assignments across administrators.

Progress tracking, certificate downloads and verification, and certificate renewals support course administration. SCORM Dispatch lets customers deliver courses through their own LMS, while individual and group training modes accommodate different assignment needs. Blended programs combine online theory with workplace evaluation by the customer’s competent person, so organizations choosing that format need to arrange the evaluation themselves. eSafetyFirst fits Canadian buyers seeking particular safety courses and employer assignment tools; organizations looking primarily for a full training-management platform may prefer a broader system.
