Overview
Approved courses are provided by training agencies that have agreed to deliver pulmonary function technician training in accordance with the minimum standards of the OHS Code, Part 4, Section 40: Health assessments for workers exposed to asbestos, silica or coal dust.
This course list is particularly useful if you:
- are looking for an approved course
- want to verify whether a course you've already taken is approved
Courses on the list have been approved by the Director of Medical Services meeting the minimum training standards. All approved agencies must agree that their approved courses will be delivered in accordance with the regulatory requirements for conducting health assessments for workers exposed to asbestos, silica or coal dust at workplaces.
Note: The list is updated as course reviews are completed.
Certification term
Pulmonary function technicians must recertify every 5 years.
Approved training courses
There are currently no approved courses.
Instead of needing to take an approved training course, Alberta Occupational Health and Safety has issued a Director’s Order – Allowance that allows you to take the Lung Saskatchewan RESPTREC® Spirometry course and conduct spirograms.
Work site parties have the flexibility to follow the original requirements in the OHS Code or to follow the allowance.
