Joint Health and Safety Committee Training

Safety Committee

This course is designed to ensure committee members understand their role within the Internal Responsibility System and how to actively contribute to improving workplace health and safety.

Participants learn how safety committees are structured, what duties they are legally required to perform, and how to carry out inspections, incident investigations, and recommendations in a way that is practical, defensible, and effective. Training aligns with the BC OHS Regulation and the Workers Compensation Act, and provides committee members with the tools needed to function confidently and competently. Certification is valid for three years.

While this course doesn’t technically expire, committee members are entitled to 8 hours of paid training each year.

We budget for a full day of training. In some cases, we may finish a bit earlier. Regardless of the duration, all topics are fully explored and covered.

Topics Covered

OHS Responsibilities
Workplace Inspections
Incident Investigations

Duties and Functions
Rules of Procedure
Safety Committee Evaluations

Things to keep in mind

According to WorkSafe BC specifications: “All joint committee members selected on or after April 3, 2017, must receive eight hours of training and instruction.”

Working with Cameron was an absolute pleasure. He provided training not only for my Safety Committee but also for workers located on the island. He is knowledgeable, has a great personality and is able to make safety an enjoyable conversation. I am looking forward to a very long working relationship with Haland Learning.

Highly recommend Cam. He was organized, professional and the perfect amount of casual for our tech office. He facilitated our Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee training in our downtown Victoria office. The training offered a great mix between interactive exercises and self-directed learning. It was not an 8-hour day of PowerPoint slides - thankfully. Very happy with the training. Thanks Cam!
