Frequently asked questions
Which workplaces need a certified JHSC member?
Ontario workplaces that regularly employ 20 or more workers generally require a Joint Health and Safety Committee with at least one certified worker member and one certified management member.
Do I need both Part 1 and Part 2 to be certified?
Yes. Part 1 covers the general legislative and committee framework, and Part 2 applies it to your specific workplace hazards. A member is certified only after completing both.
Does JHSC certification need refreshing?
Certified members are expected to keep their certification current with periodic refresher training. The exact terms come from the provider issuing the certification, and we confirm them with you when the session is booked.
