Training Overview
This CPO Approved Joint Health and Safety Training Certification Part 1 course is the first step toward individual certification for a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) member, which is required under section 9 of the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA).
The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that at least two members of the committee (one representing the workers and one representing the management team) be certified.
Course Details:
In order to be certified, learners must complete the Joint Health and Safety Committee certification training Parts 1 and 2. Part 2 must be completed within twelve months of completion of Part 1.
This online, self-paced eLearning course contains all knowledge required to pass the JHSC Part 1 Exam at the end of the course, as well as a wide variety of practical scenarios for trainees to learn from. Worksite Safety also offers a 3 Day Instructor-Led Online Course as well as a variety of other in-class options.
Students will receive a copy of the Ontario Green Book. Shipping time within Ontario is typically 1-3 business days.
Upon the successful completion of the Joint Health and Safety Committee certification training, learners will have the knowledge and skills needed to fulfill the legislated 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.
JHSC Part 1 Online training must be completed within 30 days from the time the first lesson is started. If training is not completed within 30 days, your training progress will be reset, and you will be free to start the course again at no additional cost.
