3 1. INTRODUCTION The Ontario Public Service encourages the active participation of all employees in the prevention of injuries and occupational illnesses and the promotion of health and safety in the workplace. Vital to developing and maintaining healthy and safe workplaces is an internal responsibility system which recognizes the roles and responsibilities of all workplace parties (from employees to supervisors to the employer) and encourages joint participation in recommending solutions to health and safety issues. The Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) and Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) support the internal responsibility system in the workplace. JHSCs and HSRs are most effective when representatives of management and the bargaining agents are committed to cooperating fully in their respective roles. All certified trade unions (hereafter referred to as bargaining agents who include associations) have the opportunity to participate in the selection of worker members on a JHSC and HSR under section 9(8) and 8(5) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.0.1 as amended (OHSA). The worker members selected to be on a JHSC and HSRs represent the health and safety concerns of all workers in that workplace. JHSCs and HSRs are required at the following workplaces: Number of OHSA Requirement workers at the workplace 1 to 5 A JHSC or a HSR is not required unless the workplace uses designated substances. 6 to 19 A HSR is required. If the workplace uses designated substances, a JHSC must be established. 20 to 49 A JHSC is required and must include at least two (2) members. 50 plus A JHSC is required and must include at least four (4) members. S a f e t y R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s G u i d e 2

4 For the purpose of determining the need for a HSR or JHSC, the number of workers at the workplace shall be calculated as the combined total of all workers regularly employed on all shifts at the workplace. In some cases, contract workers may need to be counted when determining the need for a HSR or JHSC. Any amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act will be incorporated into this guide. 2. PURPOSE The purpose of this guide is to outline the formation, function, and administrative processes for workplace level Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) and Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs). This guide shall not amend, alter, subtract from, add to or qualify in any way, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) or any terms of collective agreements between the recognized bargaining agents of the OPS and Management Board of Cabinet. This guideline outlines the minimum requirements of the OHSA, and in some cases, suggested practices are provided which exceed the minimum requirements. The purpose of these suggested practices is to outline administrative processes that facilitate the effective functioning of JHSCs/HSRs in the workplace. The OHSA does not provide details on how a JHSC should operate but it does establish key requirements for the committee. It can be helpful for a JHSC to create a terms of reference to describe the purpose and structure of the committee, and to help keep the committee on track. This guide can be used to help develop a terms of reference. S a f e t y R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s G u i d e 3
