Joint Health & Safety Committee Training: Part 1 (Chief Prevention Officer Approved)

This Ontario Chief Prevention O­fficer approved Joint Health & Safety Committee Training, Part 1 course is required for organizations that have Joint Health and Safety Committees as required under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. At least one management member and one worker member on the Joint Health and Safety Committee must be certi­fied.

The goal of this 3 day course is to provide participants with knowledge on the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and internal responsibility system. The participants will also learn about their role as members of the Joint Health and Safety Committee. The course will explain the required duties of both the JHSC certi­fied and non-certi­fied members. As well, participants will receive instruction on hazard recognition and control, workplace inspections and accident investigations.
