JHSC Certification Part 1 Basic – CPO Approved Program

Serving Businesses in Hamilton and Across Ontario

In a workplace of 20 or more regular workers, you must have a Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC), it's the LAW. A company with 20-49 workers requires 2 certified members, 1 management rep and 1 worker rep. A company with 50+ workers requires 4 members (2 certified), 2 management reps and 2 worker reps.

If you have the required amount of certificated members, you may have additional members, that aren't certified, sit on the committee as long as the management reps never outnumber the worker reps.

At least two of your Joint Health & Safety Committee members must complete a JHSC training program. The JHSC certification program is divided into two parts: Part 1 Basic and Part 2 Workplace Specific. Bullivant makes it simple for you to get the right staff members JHSC certified.

JHSC Certification Part 1

Our Basic JHSC certification training is Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) approved and will give your JHSC members the ability to recognize, assess, control and evaluate hazards. We care about the safety of your workplace and instruct participants on both how to perform due diligence and prevent health & safety hazards, as well as how to investigate accidents and workplace conditions.

We run this class on a monthly basis from our Stoney Creek training facility. Please note that the second part of JHSC training, JHSC Part 2 – Workplace Specific, must also be completed within 1 year of completing Part 1, in order for the participant to be certified.
