What is a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC)?

 

A Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) is a collaboration between workers and employer representatives dedicated to enhancing health and safety standards in a workplace. They aim to keep workplaces and workers happy, healthy, and safe by fostering cooperation, identifying health and safety concerns, and recommending solutions. 

 

Every business in Ontario with 20 or more regular employees is required to have a JHSC in place, with a minimum of two certified members. 

Why do you need a JHSC certification? 

 

A JHSC makes workplaces healthier and safer by acting in an advisory role to raise awareness, identify risks, and develop recommendations for employers. They may also hold regular meetings and workplace inspections for the improvement of the health and safety of workers.  

 

A JHSC can bring a workplace: 

 

  • improved productivity  
  • reductions in workplace absences  
  • improved health and safety outcomes  
  • reductions in disability claims from illness or injury  
  • improved health and safety awareness
