JHSC certification training

Pursuant to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and dependant on the number of workers, Employers are legally required to ensure that either a Health and Safety REP or Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) is established in all workplaces. Further, it is the Employer's responsibility to ensure that workplace inspections and safety meetings are conducted on a regular basis, as required by law.
