Each person receiving blended or virtual instruction must take the WorkSafeNB e-courses before attending the one day of in-person or virtual training. To receive your JHSC certification, one day of in-person or virtual instruction must be completed.
For those receiving the three day in-class training only , the e-courses are not required.
The employer is responsible to pay for JHSC training.
You will need to contact your JHSC training provider. If the provider is WorkSafeNB, please email prevention@ws-ts.nb.ca. For training records or certificates issued by external training providers, including employers, please contact them directly.
JHSC training does not expire. Your organization can decide whether members need to retake their JHSC training and how often. If you choose to make this a requirement for your committee, include this information in your terms of reference.
