A group of Chinese workers from the People’s Republic of China was trained by MHCSP for the Winnipeg Airport Authority.The workers were flown overseas from China to install bridge decks connecting the airplanes and airport facility. MHCSPworked with a Mandarin translator to train courses such as Manitoba Legislation, Fall Protection Awareness, WHMIS, PrimeContractor, and First Aid.MHCSP continues to research new methods of training (i.e. on-line applications) to meet the needs of the industry. MHCSPwill continue its training efforts for 2009.Certificate of Recognition (COR) Program – currently there are 127 COR Certified companies in Manitoba, up from 110companies in 2008. This represents an increase of approximately 15% from the previous year. MHCSP believes that anincrease for its services will continue for 2010 (other government departments have verbally recognized their movementtowards similar pre-qualifications.) We have now seen Indian and Northern Affairs Canada require COR as a prerequisitefor bidding on their tenders and RFP’s along with other government departments.Audits and Registrations Submitted to DateActive Registrants Prior To 2009: 29Month External Audits Completed Internal Audits Completed Registrations to DateJanuary 4 2 4February 6 1 2March 3 2 2April 2 5 2May 3 12 9June 7 2 4July 10 10 2August 8 8 1September 8 6 2October 3 8 3NovemberDecemberAnnual Total to Date: 54 54 31Internal and External Audit Cycle TrendAudits Conducted1401201008060402002008 2009 2010Internal Audits 57 70 108External Audits 75 68 1916 2009 MHCA Annual Report
