explores six hazards common to most workplaces. Course modules include:
1) Ergonomic Toolbox
2) Psychosocial Hazards and Workplace Mental Health,

Employer obligations
Ontario’s
Occupational Health and Safety Act requires most workplaces employing 20 or more workers, or using a designated substance to establish a JHSC and ensure the
Certification of at least two JHSC members, one representing workers, and one management. Learn more by reviewing our Certification process
product sheet.
With few exceptions JHSC Certification training standards have not changed. However, necessitated by the COVID-19 crisis,
changes which came into force May 1, allow
Certification Part I training to be taken entirely online; extend the timeline for JHSC members who complete Part 1 training to give them 12 months to complete their Certification Part II training; and remove the need for JHSC members to apply for extensions to complete Certification Refresher training, giving them an additional six months.
As the economy reopens many workplaces will take time to review their health and safety programs with an eye to
identifying new and unaddressed hazards. WHSC has your back with more than 60
Certification hazard-specific modules to meet these additional training needs.
And as restrictions lift and we are safely able to do so, we hope to welcome you in person at one of our regularly scheduled classroom training programs across Ontario.
WHSC offers a host of other essential training
programs via our virtual classroom. Visit our
