In the construction and trades industry, safety isn’t just about rules. It’s about confidence, competence, and the ability to make smart decisions on-site. At Merit Ontario, we believe that when workers feel prepared, they perform better. Our training programs don’t just teach safety — they transform how people approach their work.
Recent learner surveys show that 94% of Merit learners felt more confident and better prepared after completing their safety courses. That confidence translates into real-world results: stronger teams, safer job sites, and improved performance across the board.
Many training programs focus on information alone, but Merit’s approach is different. Our courses are designed to connect knowledge with action, giving learners the tools to immediately apply what they’ve learned.
As one participant shared, “I feel more prepared to handle my job after taking this course.” Another wrote, “The visuals made it easy to understand, and I feel more confident on-site now.”
That kind of feedback reinforces what we stand for: accessible, practical training that builds lasting safety habits.
Merit Ontario offers a wide range of online and on-site training courses that empower workers across Ontario’s open-shop construction sector. Each program is built to meet real workplace needs, helping learners grow their confidence while keeping job sites safe and compliant.

Each course combines visuals, real-world examples, and interactive content to help learners retain information easily and apply it confidently.
Confidence on the job site isn’t just about individual growth — it strengthens entire crews. When workers know what to do, how to react, and why safety matters, they inspire trust and leadership among their peers. Supervisors see fewer incidents. Employers gain more reliable teams.
Training with Merit Ontario is more than checking a compliance box. It’s about building a workforce that’s capable, self-assured, and ready to take on challenges safely. Our goal is simple: to help Ontario’s open-shop contractors learn safe and work smart.
