What is JHSC?
A joint health and safety committee (JHSC) is a workplace committee made up of management and non-management members. The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that workplaces with 20 or more workers or workplaces with a "designated substance" (there are some exceptions to construction projects) have a JHSC.
