Ontario Ministry of Labour – Joint Health & Safety Committees:
- The joint health and safety committee has four principal functions: to identify potential hazards, to evaluate these potential hazards, to recommend corrective action, and to follow up on implemented recommendations. To carry out its functions, the joint health and safety committee is required to hold meetings [section 9(33)] and carry out regular inspections of the workplace [sections 9(26), 9(27) and 9(28)].
- Generally speaking, all joint health and safety committee members should be available to receive worker concerns, complaints and recommendations; to discuss problems and recommend solutions; and to provide input into existing and proposed health and safety programs.
The Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) is comprised of 4 members, two from Local 1842 and two from Management. The JHSC is scheduled to meet quarterly, and the minutes from the meetings can be found on the County Intranet.
Our certified JHSC Representative is Jacob Zimmerman. For questions or concerns regarding Health & Safety in the workplace please contact Jackob at zimmermanj@hastingscounty.com
Note: Meeting dates will be posted on the Site Calendar.
