Did You Know?

A well-functioning Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) is a key component of a compliant Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Program. Employers with 20 or more regularly employed workers are legally required to have a committee in place, and JHSC activities are often reviewed during WorkSafeBC inspections to assess compliance, worker engagement, and overall effectiveness.

Let’s Take Your JHSC to the Next Level

Together, we can help your committee take meaningful action, meet regulatory requirements, and make a positive difference in workplace safety. Since April 2025, we have supported:

20+ JHSC Drop-in Sessions

Interactive committee sessions led by go2HR specialists to boost engagement and learning.

300+ New committee members with training

Trained committee members to strengthen safety leadership and participation across BC.

60+ Employer 1:1 Consultations

Helping your committee leaders lead with confidence.

Strong leadership is key to an effective committee. Our Health & Safety Specialists meet one-on-one with co-chairs to clarify responsibilities, strengthen planning, and set direction for committee work.

Through guided coaching, we help co-chairs build the confidence to run productive meetings, encourage participation, and turn safety discussions into meaningful action.

Personalized support for Worker Health & Safety Representatives.

Workplaces with fewer than 20 workers aren’t required to have a committee, but they do need a representative to help identify hazards and promote safe work practices.

Our Health & Safety Specialists offer 1:1 support to help representatives succeed by clarifying responsibilities, discussing priorities, and connecting them with tools and training.
