Certification Part II
Hazard-Specific Training
Before joint health and safety committee members can become fully certified, they are also required to complete a second round of training, or Certification Part II training. This training must address hazards identified by a proper workplace hazard assessment. WHSC has developed more than 60 hazard-specific modules to meet this mandated training. Each module gives participants an understanding of a specific hazard, potential health and safety effects and possible control measures.
Course descriptions
To ease the process WHSC offers Certification Part II training by sector programs.
