About JHSC Certification Training
JHSC Certification Training is mandatory workplace health and safety training for most Ontario workplaces with 20 or more workers. The training standards are established by the Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) of the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development (MLITSD). Only providers approved by the CPO can teach JHSC Certification.
A JHSC’s role is to identify health and safety issues in the workplace and make recommendations for the reduction of incidents, injuries, illness, and disease in the workplace.
At least one worker member and one management member from the Joint Health and Safety Committee must complete JHSC Part 1 and JHSC Part 2 training. JHSC Certification Part 2 training must be completed within one year of completing JHSC Certification Part 1. In order to maintain certification, certified members must take Refresher training every three years.
Upon successful completion of both parts of the JHSC Part 1 and JHSC Part 2 training, learners obtain proof of completion from the Chief Prevention Officer (CPO).

Joint Health and Safety Committee Part 1
Overview
JHSC Certification Part 1 covers the first part of the Basic Certification Training required to become a certified workplace Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) member. Combined with JHSC Certification Part 2, it leads to certification under Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) standards. Our course applies to all sectors.
You must complete JHSC Part 2 training within one year of completing JHSC Part 1. There are no exceptions.
Health and Safety Professionals Inc. is an Ontario Chief Prevention Office (CPO) approved training provider for the JHSC Certification training program.
Who should take JHSC Part 1 Training?
- JHSC Part 1 training is generic to all workplaces, irrespective of their sector.

Joint Health and Safety Committee Part 2
Overview
JHSC Part 2 builds on what you’ve learned in JHSC Part 1 and is the final step to becoming a certified member of a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC).
HSPI delivers JHSC Part 2 training in a unique way. You are required to learn about a minimum of six hazards relevant to your workplace. We offer a total of nine hazard topics. You can choose from three options of JHSC Part 2 training based on hazards in your workplace.

Joint Health and Safety Committee Refresher Training
Overview
JHSC Refresher training is required within three years of becoming a certified member and every three years thereafter. Health & Safety Professionals Inc. (HSPI) offers an interactive one-day training course.
If you were JHSC Certified under the 1996 Standard prior to March 2016, you do not need JHSC Refresher training every three years.
