FAQ
JHSC certification in BC does not expire. Refresher training is recommended every 3 years to ensure that members stay updated on relevant health and safety legislation, practices, and emerging issues.
In BC, JHSC certification is required for workplaces that regularly employ 20 or more workers. These workplaces are legally obligated to establish a Joint Health and Safety Committee. The committee should consist of worker and employer representatives who have completed the JHSC training. However, it’s important to note that specific industries or sectors may have additional requirements or exemptions regarding JHSC certification.
