RECOMMANDED training

OODHV Act – Drivers Section

If, as part of your duties, you are required to drive a heavy vehicle, you must first have taken the OODHV Act – Drivers Section training course, intended for drivers of heavy vehicles (i.e., a vehicle weighing more than 4500 kg, commonly called a "cube"). This training is not tied to a department or function, but rather to the performance of a specific task.
