WSIB reporting, Ministry of Labour notices, Form 1000, JHSC thresholds, penalties, and source-backed filing windows.

04

Joint Health and Safety Committee Requirement

Establish and maintain a JHSC when the workplace threshold applies. Most workplaces with 20 to 49 workers require at least two JHSC members; 50 or more require at least four.
