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 much more extensive workplace training obligations beyond those for JHSC members. As of July 1, 2014, for instance, employers must ensure supervisors complete an awareness training program within one week of beginning work as a supervisor.  They must also ensure workers complete a similar program. These new awareness obligations are outlined in Ontario Regulation 297/13—Occupational Health and Safety Training and Awareness.

The WHSC offers training to help workplaces comply with many of the training obligations required by workplace health and safety law. In fact, the WHSC is legally designated in Ontario as a training centre specializing in occupational health and safety.
