Course Outline
Joint Health and Safety Committee – Basic Part 1
General information on course
The trend toward creating safer working environments for all workers is not a new trend. In 1983, the British Parliament passed into law the first recorded piece of legislation that was designed to protect the health and safety of workers. All employers operating in the Province of Ontario must comply with the regulations as they are prescribed under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and form a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC). This workshop has been developed to help participants understand their role as a Certified Member of their JHSC.
Duration:
Three Full Days (19.5 hours)
Who Should Attend:
Any organization operating in Ontario with 20 or more employees must form a JHSC to oversee the development, implementation and monitoring of their health and safety programs. At least one member representing workers and one member representing management on the committee must receive special training and be designated “Certified Members” of the organization’s JHSC.
