This resource contains 4 modules on issues of workplace safety for newcomers, designed for blended learning and has an accompanying moodle class.  It is not aligned with CLBs, but would be suitable for Stage 2 learners.  An Alberta-based resource by AWES developed in 2017, the document has Alberta-specific references and may need adaptation. It is a well-developed resource that covers federal and local laws, protective equipment, hazards and hazardous materials information (WHMIS). It also covers intercultural competence, and power dynamics in the workplace, including how to refuse unsafe work. The language is clear and the text is easy to navigate. Lessons include   video, case studies, pre-reading and vocabulary building activities.
