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).
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
Certification Workplace-Specific Training (Part II) scheduled in communities across Ontario:
