| Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act
(OSHA) requires every workplace Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) to have at least
two "Certified Members". Joint Health and Safety Committee Member
Certification is a 2-step process requiring successful completion of Part 1 (Basic) and
Part 2 (Workplace-Specific or Sector-Specific Hazard Training). REA's JHSC Part 1
(Basic) certification course is approved by the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance
Board (WSIB) for basic certification of committee members. Through lectures, exercises,
case studies and group discussions, this course provides learners with the essential
skills and knowledge needed to work effectively as key members of JHSCs.
Employers of participants seeking Part 2 Certification are expected to conduct a hazard
assessment to determine the "significant hazards" present at their workplace and
to train prospective certified members in those hazards. Upon completion of
training, participants must submit a completed copy of the Workplace-Spepcific Hazard
Training Confirmation Form to WSIB for final certification.
REA has developed and currently provides three Part 2 Certification courses in
accordance with the mandated requirements set out by WSIB's Certification Training Program
Standard. |
