Quality worker health and safety representative (HSR) training for small businesses has the potential to improve working conditions and the bottom line.
Most workplaces in Ontario which employ between 6 and 19 workers are required to ensure a health and safety representative (HSR) is selected from among the workers. HSRs have most of the same rights and powers as joint health and safety committee members in larger workplaces making HSR training essential.
Workers Health & Safety Centre’s (WHSC) comprehensive Worker Health & Safety Representative-Smaller Workplaces is designed to ensure worker HSRs understand and competently exercise their important workplace role. Our training program meets and exceeds health and safety representative training guidelines as developed by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development’s Prevention Office.
