JHSC Certification Training is broken into 2 parts:

Refresher Training is a course that is taken within 3 years after becoming JHSC certified.  This is a one day course.

The role of a Health & Safety Representative, regardless who they represent (workers/ management) is to advise the employer and supervisors of area that may be in non-compliance with OHSA, standards and best practices. This is done by understanding what the safety laws say, what kinds of standards are out there, what kinds of hazards are found within a workplace.  JHSC certification training provides participants with the knowledge and information they need to be an effective health and safety representative.
