Workplace Inspections and Incident Investigations Online Training
Description
Our e-learning course will introduce those Alberta workforce members of a joint work site health and safety committee (HSC) or health and safety representatives (H&S reps) to the knowledge and tools required to conduct effective incident investigations and workplace inspections.
Under the new Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act, joint health and safety committees (JHSCs) are mandatory. Key responsibilities of the JHSCs will include participating in incident investigations and performing workplace inspections.
