POST Guide to Levels 1 & 2

POST LEVELS – GUIDELINE

 


POST offers two levels of the online orientation course – Level 1 and Level 2. Users have the option of taking either level each year. We do encourage however, everyone who has taken Level 1 for more than two years take Level 2.

Many office administrators, health and safety staff as well as management also take POST to have a better understanding of the POST requirements that are expected of their workers on site. We encourage all staff who engage with front line workers to take POST Level 2 to increase their awareness.
