Joint Health and Safety Committee

CERTIFICATION PART II
WHSC Hazard Modules

Following completion of Certification Part I training, joint health and safety committee (JHSC) Certification candidates are required to complete Certification Part II training.

This training must be approved by the Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) of Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) and delivered by an approved provider. Training must also address at least six hazards that are relevant to the JHSC’s workplace. The hazards to be addressed by Certification Part II training should be discussed and selected by the JHSC.

WHSC and all our training options for Certification Part II have been approved. The WHSC offers more than 40 hazard-specific modules for a more customized approach (see below for more details). Each is designed to build on the knowledge gained in Certification Part I training and apply it to specific workplace hazards with emphasis on measures to eliminate or control exposures. As a second option to ease compliance, workplaces can enroll in one of several WHSC sector programs. These programs address hazards common to the majority of workplaces in a given sector.

Regardless, Certification Part II training must also be a minimum of two days in duration. In most cases, this training must be taken within 12 months of Certification Part I training.
