Prepare for Safe Adventures in Bear Country
Running into a bear isn’t on anyone’s to-do list, but for those who live, work, or play in bear country, it’s a very real possibility. Whether you’re deep in the backcountry or on a project site near wilderness, preparation is your best form of protection.
That’s why TriTech Safety & Training offers the Bear Awareness online course — giving you the knowledge and confidence to prevent bear encounters and respond appropriately if one happens. This essential safety training is designed for both professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who may encounter areas with bear activity.
Why Bear Awareness Matters
Bears are a natural part of our Canadian wilderness, and their habitats often overlap with our work sites, recreational trails, and camping areas. In industries like forestry, oil & gas, construction, and environmental monitoring, you may be in bear territory on a regular basis.
Even those enjoying leisure activities like hiking, camping, hunting, or running guided outdoor tours benefit greatly from understanding bear behaviour and safety practices.
Knowing how to recognize signs of bear activity, travel smart, and act decisively in an encounter can not only protect you but also help preserve bears by reducing human-wildlife conflict.

In just about one hour of self-paced, online training, you’ll learn:
- ✔ Bear species identification: black, grizzly, and polar bears
