The details

Get ready to make a real difference in workplace safety with our Joint Health and Safety Committee Part 1 training. We understand that creating a safer environment isn't just about ticking boxes – it's about empowering individuals like you to be champions for change.

Imagine having the tools and knowledge to spot potential hazards before they become risks, to assess situations with clarity and precision, and to implement measures that truly protect your colleagues. That's exactly what our training offers – the chance to make a tangible impact on the safety and well-being of everyone in your workplace.

But it's not just about the technical skills. We're here to support you in becoming a compassionate leader who fosters a culture of care and responsibility. Your role on the Joint Health and Safety Committee isn't just about compliance – it's about creating a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and heard.

And if your company employs 20 or more individuals, establishing a Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) isn't just a legal requirement – it's an opportunity to make a real difference. That's where we come in. Safety Guys is proud to offer Chief Prevention Officer approved training for JHSC Part 1, Part 2 and Refresher.

Throughout our training sessions, you'll find a supportive environment where your questions are welcomed, your experiences are valued, and your growth is celebrated. Because we believe that by coming together and learning from each other, we can create workplaces that are safe, supportive and inclusive.

Private sessions can be arranged at your location or at one of our training centres in Belleville or Kingston. 

​Our manuals are now printed in full colour and follow AODA design guidelines to improve the student experience!
