About the course
What this course covers.
In Alberta, joint health and safety committees and health and safety representatives are a legislated part of the internal responsibility system - and the people in those roles need to understand exactly what the Alberta OHS legislation requires of them. This course guides participants methodically through the guiding documents and the legislative requirements.
The course works through the Alberta OHS Act, Code, and Regulation, the structures and functions of health and safety committees and representatives, and step-by-step processes and best practices for hazard assessment and control, worksite inspections, and incident investigations. It covers the individual roles of employer and worker co-chairs, committee members, and representatives, including the joint health and safety management systems of diverse workplaces with multiple employers and prime contractors. The course was designed and developed by AMTA.
Companies use the course to train Alberta HSC members and HSRs in their legislated duties and to give a documented training record.

It walks through the Alberta Act, Code, and Regulation the way a committee member actually needs - tied to what the committee does, not just statute.
