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 is legally designated in Ontario as a training centre specializing in occupational health and safety. We can help workplaces meet many of their extensive training obligations including Basic Certification Training, Workplace-Specific Hazard Training and WHMIS.
 
The following are a few additional upcoming examples of training we’ve scheduled in communities across Ontario:
 
Workplace-Specific Hazard Training (Certification Part II)
Health Care & Social Services October 15-17
(see web for training locations and to register)
Office & Professional October. 21-23
