Hierarchy of Controls

News and Updates

Metrolinx is launching the Red Zone Green Zone Toolkit training course to equip contractors with the knowledge and tools to effectively apply the Hierarchy of Controls when planning work within Metrolinx rail corridors. 

The course aims to ensure contractors fully understand each Green Zone option within the Hierarchy of Controls and can make informed decisions when selecting the most appropriate control based on the specific type of work being performed. Participants will also gain a comprehensive understanding of key topics, including the exemption process for Green Zone work, risk assessments, and Continuous Work Zones. 

Registration for the training will be available in late spring of 2025. Visit this page to stay up to date on training availability.
