The training
- Once you have access to the training, you will have 14 days to finish it.
(If you are unable to finish the training within the set 14-day period, please contact simdut@ssp.ulaval.ca to explain the situation and request an extension.) - The training takes approximately 120 minutes.
Criteria for success
You must pass 2 evaluations to obtain a training certificate. You have 3 attempts for each evaluation. If your email address on monPortail is valid, your result will appear on the screen after each attempt.
If you fail
If you fail the evaluations, please report the problem to simdut@ssp.ulaval.ca and request an additional attempt.
Training attestation
If you have an IDUL
A training attestation will be added to your PeopleSoft HR file automatically approximately 3 business days after you successfully complete the training.
Please note that no certificate will be issued, and the evaluation result will not appear on any student transcript.
If you do not have an IDUL
Your result will be recorded in the register that can only be accessed by the relevant units, faculties, departments, and affiliated centres.
Please note that no certificate will be issued.
Checking the attestation in your file
As needed, units, faculties, departments, and services can check whether there is a training attestation in your PeopleSoft HR file:
- for individuals:
Menu principal > Perfectionnement effectif > Gestion profils > Profils > Profils personnes - for all unit staff:
Menu principal > Outil production rapports > Interrogations > Visualisation interrogations: rechercher le rapport UL_DCT_SIMDUT
If you used a temporary IDUL to take the training despite having an IDUL, or if an IDUL has been assigned to you since that time, your training attestation will not appear in the file linked to your IDUL. To rectify the situation, send your name and file number to simdut@ssp.ulaval.ca along with an explanation of your situation.
Training renewal
The training must be renewed every 5 years. However, you can register at any time if you want to update your knowledge before the deadline.
Training received from another employer
Some people may have taken WHMIS training at another workplace or university. However, Université Laval cannot recognize any training equivalence, since emergency procedures differ from one workplace to another.
Furthermore, the Santé et sécurité pour ingénieur III (GMN-2902) class cannot replace this training.
