Employer training obligations
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).
 
Employers have many other general and specific legal duties to ensure workers and other workplace parties complete training. Examples include:

• working at heights (NEW)
• worker health and safety awareness
• supervisor health and safety awareness
• supervisor competency
• violence and harassment
• confined space entry, and
• mobile equipment operator competency.
