The ASP course: Health and safety on Construction Sites

Required training for working in construction

Want to work on construction sites? The first thing to do is take your ASP course.

And it works out well, because we reimburse the cost of the ASP course offered by CSD Construction when you become a member. It’s a great way to join the best union and save money!

Here is what to expect:

• It’s a mandatory, 30-hour training course that takes place over two weekends.
• You’ll learn how to understand and apply the health and safety regulation Safety Code for the construction industry.
• When you pass the test, you’ll get a provisional certificate that will let you get your competency certificate and start working on construction sites.
• Then, you’ll receive an ASP card by mail (you can expect a 12-week dalay).

Payment by credit card is preferred and must be paid no later than 1 week before the course.

Reimbursement: CSD Construction reimburses most costs to participants who have confirmed their union membership with us. You will receive a refund of $185 (card issuing fees are not refunded). Reimbursement is made upon receipt of the first hour contributed.

Please allow 8-10 weeks to receive your reimbursement, because of the delays required for the CCQ to notify us of the reimbursement of contributions.
