Abstract Inspectors of the Quebec Commission for Occupational Safety and Health (CSST) have been trained in risk evaluation for hazardous machines and in the use of safety devices, and can carry out effective interventions in plants that use such equipment. In response to a request from representatives of joint sector-based associations, plant engineering and maintenance personnel, and an engineering faculty, IRSST researchers helped the partners develop appropriate training activities based on the pedagogical material and methods used for training the CSST inspectors. In this context, they defined pedagogical objectives specific to each of the partners, prepared the required material and offered appropriate training. The method described in this report may be used to transfer competencies in other fields.
