JHSC certification training provides participants with the knowledge and information they need to be an effective health and safety representative.
What Is JHSC?
A Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) is a group made up of representatives from both workers and employers, working together to enhance workplace health and safety. In Ontario, any business with 20 or more regular employees is required to establish a JHSC. The committee must include at least two certified members who have completed a two-part training through a Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) approved provider, following the standards set by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development.
