What is a joint health and safety committee?

A joint health and safety committee (JHSC) is a group of worker and employer representatives. They work together and are committed to improving health and safety conditions in the workplace. Committees look at potential health and safety issues and bring them to the employer’s attention, they must be kept up to date on all of the health and safety developments in the workplace by the employer. As well, a designated worker member of this team must inspect the workplace at least once a month.
