The WHSC’s Basic Certification program is an essential first step towards compliance with training obligations for joint health and safety committee (JHSC) members.
 
To assist workplaces seeking to comply with these obligations, the WHSC has scheduled Basic Certification Training this November in various communities across Ontario.

Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act (the Act) requires almost every provincially-regulated workplace with 20 or more employees or a designated substance on site to establish a JHSC.
 
Employers must also ensure at least two members of a JHSC, one representing workers and one representing the employer, become certified. To become certified, JHSC members must complete both Basic Certification Training (Part I) and Workplace-Specific Hazard Training (Part II).
 
Ontario health and safety law also requires employers to ensure supervisors complete an awareness training program within one week of beginning work as a supervisor. Employers have additional obligations to appoint a competent person as a supervisor [Occupational Health & Safety Act (the Act) section 25(2)(c)].
The WHSC offers training to help workplaces comply with these and other training obligations. In fact, the WHSC is legally designated in Ontario as a training centre specializing in occupational health and safety.
 
The following are examples of upcoming training scheduled in communities across Ontario:
 
Workplace-Specific Hazard Training (Certification Part II)
Manufacturing & Fabricating December 8-12
