JHSC Part 1 and 2 Health and Safety Training Certificate Toronto, Ontario

Training Fee: CAD $399.00

What is JHSC Training?

Provincial employers in Ontario employing 20 or more regularly employed workers must have a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) consisting of at least two certified members (including one management representative and one worker representative).

As with our existing courses, every 8 hours of our online training is eligible for .5 of a Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP) maintenance point.

The philosophy behind the Act is known as the ‘internal responsibility system’ (I.R.S.) and although this phrasing is not mentioned in any legislation, the Ministry of Labour’s guide to the act makes it clear that the government expects cooperation at all levels. The I.R.S. is based on the principle that every individual in the workplace is responsible for health and safety. The driving force behind an effective health and safety management system includes a cooperative effort from all parties within the organization.

Part 1 JHSC Certification

JHSC training consists of two (2) parts. Completion of the JHSC Certification Part 1 (Basic Certification) training program is the first step in becoming a Certified Member of your Joint Health and Safety Committee.

It consists of 4 main elements:

  • Health and safety law
  • Hazard identification and control
  • Investigation techniques
  • Prevention resources

Every Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) must have at least two Certified members: one representing workers, and one from management. One worker and one management designated JHSC member must complete Part One and Part Two of the Training to maintain active Certification status.

Who Should Take the Course?

Health and Safety Committee Members (including both worker and management representatives), Supervisors, Health and Safety Managers
