Workers are assigned a job profile (e.g. Field Operator, Gas Plant Operator, Gas Plant Electrician, Pipeline Operator), which includes generic and site-specific competencies assigned to one or more validators. Each competency identifies the knowledge and skills required for a particular job function, as defined by industry SMEs and training consultants. Training resources can be attached to the competencies being measured, and mandatory e-learning modules can be assigned to individual workers. Validation of competency self-assessments is done by a validator, who agrees or disagrees with a worker's self-assessment.
CMDS is designed to provide a comprehensive competency-based approach to ensure employees and contractors understand their specific job requirements and provide a credible record of achieved knowledge and skills.
Competencies are developed by workers in industry to reflect the work they do within their facility. Because it is experienced workers who develop these competencies, it ensures they are relevant and acceptable to the workplace.
Currently the system serves about 5,000 employees and contractors across Canada, in nearly 100 major energy companies – including several multinationals. The program has been accepted by several post-secondary institutions, with Certificate and Diploma development led by Lakeland College.

ELearning Update: Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Legislation, Response to Bill 30
Significant changes to Alberta’s occupational health and safety legislation have been passed by the Alberta Government, commonly known as Bill 30. The changes will come into effect June 1, 2018. The changes focus on three fundamental rights of workers: • Right to know • Right to participate • Right to refuse dangerous work
Another key aspect of the changes is the addition of new work site parties and their obligations. Supervisors now have important obligations under the Act. Employers and Supervisors will have a duty to ensure that the supervisor is competent to supervise every worker under their supervision. As a response to the legislative changes, the CMDS team has updated the eLearning module Supervisor Responsibilities for Worker Routine Safety and Training. The update aligns the module with the legislative changes, it is recommended that you review the module. Over the coming months, several other modules and competencies will see minor edits made in order to address the legislative changes.
It is also recommended that you review the new legislation to ensure that your organization’s programs are compliant with the new Act, Regulations, and Code.
