“I had Instuctor Lisa 3 years ago and was fortunate to have her teach the course on February 11th, 2016. She is by far the best instructor I ever had and is very easy to understand plus, she makes the course interesting. Lisa’s teaching technique feels like I’m learning from a good friend.”

Joint health and safety committees (JHSCs) and multi-workplace joint health and safety committees (MJHSCs) represent workers and employers at Ontario workplaces. An MJHSC is a single JHSC, established and maintained for more than one workplace, each of which would normally require its own JHSC.
Some members of a JHSC must receive training called ‘certification’ to perform their duties effectively.
Rescue 7 is undergoing approvals of the new standards, and will soon be able to offer the required certifications for companies. The standards are as follows:
JHSC Level 1
1996 Standard: Minimum of 2 days
New Standard: Minimum of 3 days (19.5 hours)
JHSC Level 2
1996 Standard: Minimum of 1 day
New Standard: Minimum of 2 days (13 hours) and must be secured within 6 months of the level one and training must be provided by approved by the MOL.
