The Construction Safety Training System (CSTS-09) is a general construction safety awareness program for workers in the construction industry. STS was first released in 1995 and soon after adopted by the buyers of construction in Alberta as a pre-requisite for gate/site access. CSTS-09 is the ACSA’s latest, fully updated program encompassing current safety practices and computer technologies.
CSTS-09 has 15 lesson modules which include 82 topics that explain then test the students knowledge of the concepts presented. Upon completion with a 100% pass rate, CSTS students receive a certification, which also includes "Generic WHMIS Worker" training. The program is self paced with the average completion time approximately 5 – 6½ hours. CSTS is available at a number of facilities across Alberta for individuals to obtain their training. Companies may purchase seat packages ranging from 5 to 250 seats at a time to setup in-house training for their employees. (CSTS-09 meets IRP 16 Standard)
