-
第4题,共15题
显示答案
答案: A. Meet each person, explain your role and ask what helps them work well
Talking one-on-one, explaining your role and listening builds trust. Big changes on day one and favouritism damage it.

-
第6题,共15题

-
第7题,共15题
显示答案
答案: A. What to do, why it matters, the deadline and the standard expected
Clear delegation covers what, why, when and how well. Leaving these out leads to mistakes and rework.
-
第8题,共15题
显示答案
答案: C. You, as the supervisor who assigned it
Delegating hands over the task, not your responsibility. You still follow up to make sure it is done right.
-
第9题,共15题
显示答案
答案: B. The same way you would handle it for anyone else
CCOHS advises treating all workers in a fair and respectful manner. Fair means the same standard for everyone.

-
第11题,共15题
显示答案
答案: D. Keep it confidential and refer them to the channel your manager named
Information shared with you in confidence stays confidential. Do not guess or leak details; send questions to the proper channel.
-
第12题,共15题
显示答案
答案: A. Your limits of authority: what you decide and what you pass on
Knowing what you can decide alone, and what must go to your manager or human resources, prevents mistakes and conflict.
-
第13题,共15题
显示答案
答案: B. Wear a vest too, because the team copies what you do
Supervisors must make sure workers use required protective equipment, and leading by example is the best way to do it.
-
第14题,共15题
显示答案
答案: A. Check the post orders and policy, and escalate before changing duties
Post orders set the guards' duties. A change requested by the client should go to your manager before guards are told to act.
-

显示答案
答案: B. Listen to their reasons, explain the change and consider their ideas
CCOHS advises involving workers in decisions. Listening and explaining builds support, and their ideas may improve the procedure.

考前须知
- In Alberta, every supervisor must advise workers of all known or reasonably foreseeable hazards in their work area and report unsafe acts or conditions to the employer.
- In Alberta, a shift over 5 hours needs a 30-minute break, and a shift of 10 hours or more needs two. A break must be paid if the employer restricts what the worker can do.
- Alberta overtime is all hours over 8 a day or 44 a week, whichever is greater, paid at least 1.5 times the regular wage.
- Ontario overtime starts after 44 hours in a work week, and there is no daily overtime by default.
- In federally regulated workplaces, employers must give a written schedule at least 96 hours ahead and 24 hours' written notice of a shift change, except in certain urgent situations.
- In Alberta, harassment can be a single incident or repeated incidents, but reasonable conduct by a supervisor in managing workers is not harassment.
- CCOHS says the purpose of an incident investigation is to find the facts that lead to corrective action, not to find fault.
- CCOHS describes safety talks as short meetings of about 5 minutes and advises keeping a record of the topic, worker feedback and attendance.
常见问题
What certificate do I get, and what is it not?
If you score 80% or more on the final assessment, you can download a certificate of completion for this course. It shows you finished a general skills course. It is not an accredited qualification, a licence, or a certification from an employer, a government or any other organization.
Do the rules in this course apply in my province or territory?
Hours of work, breaks, overtime and safety rules vary by province and territory, and federal industries such as banks and airlines follow the Canada Labour Code. The lessons use federal, Alberta and Ontario rules as examples. Always check the official rules for your own workplace.
Is this course only for security supervisors?
No. It is for new supervisors in retail, hospitality, offices and security teams. The examples and scenarios come from all four settings.
How does the final assessment work?
It has 35 questions picked at random from the course's question bank, and you have 35 minutes. You get a new mix of questions each time you try.
Is this course legal advice?
No. It explains the basics in plain language. For a specific question, ask your employer's HR team or the employment standards or health and safety office for your province, territory or federal sector.
这份证书是否经过认证或获得官方认可?
不是。这是一份私人颁发的结业证书,仅用于知识学习。它未获得任何政府、执照发放机构、监管机构或教育机构的认可、认证或批准,也不能替代法律要求的任何执照、资格证书或培训。
