From the Ministry of Labour

The Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC) Certification Training Standard is being amended to reduce the burden on business while maintaining standardized high-quality training accessible to all workers across Ontario. 

These amendments will simplify requirements for certification, improve access to training, and save employers and workers time and money. The improvements include:

• Allowing Part One JHSC training to be fully delivered via eLearning;
• Adjusting the minimum duration for eLearning to utilize technology and reflect self-paced learning;
• Extending the time to complete Part Two JHSC training to within a year of completing Part One JHSC training, providing more time for employers to schedule training; and
• Simplifying rules to create straightforward timelines for training and eliminating the need to submit forms.
