• 1 – 5 Employees? You are not required to have a JHSC unless a designated substance regulation applies to your workplace.
• 6 – 19 Employees? You are required to have one health and safety representative who is selected by the workers they represent. If a designated substance regulation applies to your workplace, you are required to have a JHSC.
• 20 – 49 Employees? You are required to have at least 2 JHSC members.
• 50+ Employees? You are required to have at least 4 JHSC members.
