This one-day E-learning program is provided in a tracked version which ensures each participant will receive a certificate of completion and a record of the training will be kept and retained.
A Health and Safety Representative (HSR) is required in most Ontario workplaces that regularly employ 6 to 19 workers. Some workplaces are required to have an HSR in other circumstances (see https://www.ontario.ca/page/guide-health-and-safety-committees-and-representatives#section-4).
The Health and Safety Rep’s job is to help keep the workplace safe and healthy. Workers choose the HSR, unless the workplace has a union, in which case the union selects them. Larger workplaces with 20 or more employees need a Joint Health and Safety Committee.
This course is delivered as an online e-learning course, designed to help you learn at your own pace and in your own environment at your convenience. You will need a computer (desktop or laptop) and access to the internet.
