Overview
A Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) is comprised of worker and management representatives. The goal is to be mutually committed to enhancing health and safety in the workplace. The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires certification of at least two members of a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) for organizations with 20 or more employees. This course provides students the knowledge to fulfill the duties of a JHSC certified member and to support the workplace parties in understanding their roles as part of the Internal Responsibility System in preventing occupational injuries and illnesses.
