This three day course is the first of two steps in becoming a fully certified Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) member. In Ontario, JHSCs are required, by law, to have at least two (2) certified members.

In this course you will learn about:

• The Occupational Health and Safety Act
• The roles and responsibilities of the workplace parties under the Act
• Functions and powers of the JHSC
• Work refusals and work stoppages
• Workplace inspections and investigations
• Hazard recognition, assessment, control and evaluation
• How to make effective recommendations to the employer
• The role of the Ministry of Labour Training and Skills Development
