3-Day Health and Safety REP Certification
Pursuant to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and, dependent on the number of workers, Employers are legally required to ensure that either a Health and Safety REP or Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) is established in all workplaces.
Further, it is the Employer's responsibility to ensure that workplace inspections and safety meetings are conducted on a regular basis, as required by law. In addition, Employers must also provide all required certification training for Health and Safety Reps.
Canadian Security Training's Health and Safety division is an MLITSD-approved JHSC Training Provider and is licenced to provide Health and Safety Rep Certification training. Courses are conveniently scheduled to assist Employers with operational scheduling and budgeting and can be completed on a part-time basis including weekends.
