Joint Health & Safety Level 1 Training

Joint Health & Safety Level 1 Training

Workplace safety is a shared responsibility, and Ontario law mandates that workplaces with more than 20 employees establish a Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC). F.A.S.T. Rescue’s Joint Health & Safety Level 1 Training prepares committee members to identify and address health and safety concerns in the workplace.

The course covers the rights, roles, and responsibilities of both employers and employees under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), helping ensure a safer and more compliant work environment.

This course is essential for any workplace looking to comply with Ontario’s safety legislation and for individuals aiming to become certified members of their JHSC. We offer flexible delivery methods, including in-class, distance learning, and online training to accommodate different needs and preferences.
