Certification Training: It’s the Law
 The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that one worker and one management representative of every joint health and safety committee (JHSC) must be trained in the fundamentals of health and safety. Both members must also be trained in workplace-specific hazards. This training is known as Certification Part One and Certification Part Two.
Certification Training Overview
Certification isn’t just for worker and management members of your JHSC..
Consider providing certification training to all your committee members and other
workplace parties too, like managers and supervisors. By doing so, you can be assured
that you’ll always be in compliance with minimum legal requirements and you can
help to create a stronger, more effective internal responsibility system.
Here’s how to get started...
1. Start with the Basics (Certification Part One)
Certification Part One: Generic is aimed at participants who have an understanding
of health and safety, are familiar with the OH&S Act, and prefer a faster-paced lecture style
format.
Certification Part One: Manufacturing is designed for participants
who have little knowledge of health and safety or the OH&S Act. Highly interactive,
these courses are peppered with examples, case studies, activities and discussions
that make learning easy and thorough.
New for Offices! Cover the basics (Part One Certification) and the hazards (Part Two Certification) at the same time and save with our newest course Certification Parts One and Two: Offices.
2. Move on to the Hazards (Certification Part Two)
Once you have mastered the basics of health and safety, you are ready to get down
to the specifics. Certification Part Two covers workplace-specific hazards. The
training is designed to help participants recognize, assess and control significant
hazards in their workplaces. IAPA’s Certification Part Two courses, which are approved
by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) and sponsored by trade associations,
have been developed to address hazards common to the majority of workplaces within
a sector.
3. Complete the Final Paperwork
Just fill in the WSIB form that we’ve included in your participant’s package and
forward it to the WSIB. The WSIB will send you an official card verifying that you
have been certified. That’s it!
