I have been reviewing the requirements for health and safety certification and would like to inquire about the possibility of developing an internal JHSC certification training module for our employees. Wondering if someone has done tnhis

Specifically, I am interested in:
Whether we are permitted to create and deliver this type of training in-house
If so, what criteria must be met to ensure compliance and certification validity

Generally, JHSC certification training, where it’s required, must be delivered by an officially certified/govt approved provider. But I can’t give you a precise answer unless I know what province you’re in (or whether you’re federally regulated). LMK and I’ll follow up.

Not federally regulated. We are a global organization and we support training across all provinces.

Where JHSC certification training is expressly required by OHS laws, which is the case in 4 provinces–Ontario, Alberta, Newfoundland and Quebec, I believe–it must be delivered by a govt approved trainer using a govt approved course. In other words, a company can’t just develop its own inhouse program and use it to satisfy the OHS requirement. However, such a training module might still be useful to acquaint JHSC members and co-chairs about committee functions, powers, rights, etc., in any of the 10 jurisdictions where JHSC certification training isn’t specifically required. This might help https://ohsinsider.com/how-to-perform-a-jhsc-training-compliance-audit/
