Labour and Employment Special Report: Joint Health and Safety Committees A Resource Guide for Effective Training, Second Edition is intended to help organizations assess the current effectiveness of their Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) and provide guidelines and tools to facilitate movement from one stage of the continuum to the next. It has a special focus on developing training programs for JHSC members.

The book outlines the skills and knowledge required by JHSCs for basic legal compliance as well as due diligence.

The book also includes practical tools and guidelines you can use and incorporate into your own organization.
