Instrument Type:
Proposal
Bill or Act:
Occupational Health and Safety Act
Summary of Proposal:
Sections 7.1 through 7.4 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) give the CPO the authority to establish and amend training program and provider standards for training programs required under the OHSA or regulations and to approve training programs and providers that meet those standards. Section 7.6 also gives the CPO the authority to establish and amend training and other requirements for members of JHSCs to become certified, and to certify the members that meet those requirements.
The CPO has established the following relating to Joint Health and Safety Committees in Ontario:
The Joint Health and Safety Committee Training Program Standard
The Joint Health and Safety Committee Training Provider Standard
Training and Other Requirements
Since 2016, JHSC members who successfully complete both Part One and Part Two of an approved training program within the required timeframe are eligible to be certified by the CPO and act as certified JHSC members
This consultation is part of a commitment made by Ontario's Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) to review the Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) Certification Training Program and Provider Standards every five years. The intent of the review is to ensure the CPO-established JHSC Certification Training Standards and Training and Other Requirements remain effective, relevant, and up to date.
Please respond to the consultation questions below and submit your response by November 7, 2022 online through the Ontario Regulatory Registry or by email to PreventionFeedback@Ontario.ca with the subject line: JHSC Standards Review.
