Get your JHSC Part 1 certificate with our JHSC training course in Ontario offered online at Achieve Safety and Compliance. JHSC training meets the standards set by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development for high-quality, compliant health and safety training in Ontario. The course teaches workplace hazard recognition, legal responsibilities, and safety management principles required for workplaces with 20 or more employees.
After the course, workers receive confined space certification recognized across Ontario. Employers must ensure training remains current by reviewing procedures, performing refreshers, and documenting all entries, permits, and assessments. Inspectors often request proof of training and entry permits during site visits. Achieve Safety stores digital records and provides refresher training when needed.
In workplaces requiring a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC), at least two members—one management and one worker—must be certified. JHSC certification consists of two parts with refresher training required every 3 years to maintain certification status.
The Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) Part 1 Training program provides workers and supervisors with the knowledge required under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) to effectively participate in workplace safety programs.
The training prepares committee members to identify hazards, participate in safety inspections, investigate incidents, and improve workplace safety systems.
Certification happens in two stages:
JHSC Part 1 Training
JHSC Part 2 Training
The JHSC Part 1 Training course provides the foundation of workplace safety knowledge required for committee members. Participants learn how Ontario safety laws work and how committees help prevent injuries and workplace incidents.
Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
JHSC training is required for many workplaces. Any workplace with 20 or more employees must have a Joint Health and Safety Committee with certified members. For most companies, compliance means having at least 2 committee members certified in health and safety – one worker and one management representative.
For mushroom, greenhouse, dairy, hog, cattle, and poultry farming operations, JHSC Certification training is required if there are 50 or more workers.
Organizations that typically require certified members include:
Proper hazard identification helps prevent accidents before they occur.
Effective safety programs often reduce WSIB claims and insurance premiums
Workers become more engaged in identifying hazards and improving safety practices.
Businesses that invest in safety training see measurable improvements in workplace performance.
Investing in safety training improves both compliance and workplace culture.
JHSC Part 1 vs JHSC Part 2 Training
Understanding the certification process is important.
| Training Level | Purpose |
|---|---|
| JHSC Part 1 Training | Covers general workplace safety principles and OHSA legislation |
| JHSC Part 2 Training | Focuses on workplace-specific hazards and risk management |
Both levels are required for full certification.
