Critical Activities Requirements (CAR) Training
CARs are intended to establish minimum requirements for performing critical activities in order to protect people from significant harm.
Please Note: Effective February 10, 2023, contractors working in Ontario operations are not required to complete the following Car Modules:
- CAR08: Ground Stability Orientation
- CAR09: Explosives Orientation
- CAR10: Working with Electricity Orientation
These awareness modules provide an overview of the updated CARs that are in the process of being fully implemented across our operations.
- These awareness modules do not qualify anyone to perform a critical activity. Full qualification to perform critical activities depends on other existing operational technical training.
- CAR(1-5) - Vale Base Metals’ Awareness Orientation will be required by anyone who has not completed all the individual CAR modules 01-05. Only those who have completed this training, or the previous training will be able to perform critical activities associated with CAR’s 01-05 on Vale sites.
- Deadline: For CAR Modules 06-11 - All Vale workers (employees and contractors/service providers) who perform critical activities must complete these awareness modules no later than December 30, 2022. Only those who have completed this training prior to December 30th will be able to perform critical activities on Vale sites.
