What is JHSC Part One Certification?

Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) Part One Certification is the foundational step toward becoming a certified JHSC member. It is designed for workplaces in all sectors across Ontario. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), workplaces with 20 or more employees must have at least two certified JHSC members—one representing management and the other selected by workers or their union. At 4S Consulting, we offer JHSC Part One training through flexible formats, including self-paced eLearning and instructor-led virtual classes. Complete this Ministry-approved training in as little as three days and take the first step toward ensuring a safer, compliant workplace.

JHSC Part Two Certification builds on the foundational knowledge gained in Part One by addressing sector-specific hazards. At 4S Consulting, we provide Part Two training tailored for diverse industries, including construction, healthcare, public services, and industrial sectors. With flexible two- or three-day formats, our training covers critical hazards such as confined spaces, slips and falls, chemical and biological hazards, workplace violence, musculoskeletal disorders, and mental health stressors. Our expert instructors ensure that training is practical and tailored to your workplace’s unique needs. You must complete JHSC Part Two within 12 months of completing Part One to achieve full certification.

JHSC Refresher Training ensures your certification remains valid and your knowledge up-to-date. Ontario regulations require JHSC members to complete refresher training every three years. At 4S Consulting, we offer an efficient one-day Refresher course designed to align with Ministry standards. This training is crucial for maintaining compliance and staying informed about the latest health and safety regulations.

Yes, completing both JHSC Part One and Part Two training is mandatory to become a certified JHSC member in Ontario. Part One provides the foundational knowledge, while Part Two focuses on sector-specific hazards. Under Ministry regulations, you must complete Part Two within 12 months of finishing Part One. Certification is only granted upon the successful completion of both parts.

At 4S Consulting, we are committed to helping you succeed. If you don’t pass the final evaluation on your first attempt, you can retake it after a consultation with our instructors. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand the material and feel confident in your knowledge. JHSC Part Two training, however, does not have a final written test. Performance during the course is evaluated through practical exercises and active participation.

No, your JHSC Certification remains valid even if you change jobs. As long as your certification is current, you can provide your new employer with the necessary records. However, some employers may require additional training to address workplace-specific hazards.

Your JHSC Certification is valid for three years after completing Part Two training. To maintain certification, you must complete Refresher Training before the three-year expiry date. For example, if you completed Part Two on January 1, 2023, you’ll need to complete Refresher Training by January 1, 2026, to remain certified.

Workplaces in Ontario with 20 or more employees must have at least two certified JHSC members—one representing management and one selected by the workers or union. Additionally, certain high-risk industries like construction projects lasting over three months with 50 or more employees and specific farming operations with 20 or more workers also require certified members. Certified members play a critical role in maintaining workplace safety and compliance.

CPO (Chief Prevention Officer) approval ensures your JHSC Certification meets Ontario’s strict health and safety standards. Training providers like 4S Consulting are CPO-approved for JHSC Part One, Part Two, and Refresher courses, guaranteeing compliance and quality. Always choose a CPO-approved provider to avoid non-compliance risks.
