Training
All JHSCs are required to have members who successfully complete the Certification Training Program
(Parts 1 and 2). Please see the Appendix of this document for a list of training courses for the JHSC
offered by Workplace Safety and Prevention Services. With regard to training needs, here are some
thoughts for you to consider:
ƒ How many certified members will your committee need? Minimum number? Ideal number?
Trained back-ups? It is a best practice to have all the members certified.
ƒ What other training will the JHSC need? Keep in mind any changes in legislation that may impact
the JHSC.
ƒ All new JHSC members should receive orientation training to the JHSC terms of reference as a
minimum. Who will do this? When?
ƒ Additional training on workplace inspections and incident investigations is recommended for all
members who are designated to take part in those tasks.
ƒ Who approves training and related costs?
