JHSC Training. A certified JHSC member is someone who has undertaken specialized training in occupational health and safety and has been certified by the Chief Prevention Officer under the OHSA as of April 1, 2012. Before April 1, 2012, JHSC members were certified by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997. These certifications continue to be valid and recognized under the OHSA. The OHSA grants specific powers to the certified member. Employers must ensure that their workplace JHSC has at least two certified members (one representing employees and the other the employer). The Company will arrange for all JHSC training and cover the cost of the training and will pay members for lost time.
