Importance of JHSC Certification
In Ontario, workplaces with 20 or more workers must have a JHSC, consisting of at least one worker and one management member. The JHSC identifies and addresses workplace health and safety issues, helping employers and workers collaborate to manage hazards and maintain optimal safety performance. A functioning JHSC is essential in advising management on health and safety policies, ensuring that safety remains a priority to protect employees at all times.
