The JHSC is a legally required committee under Section 9 of the Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA). It is composed of both worker and employer representatives who work together to identify and resolve health and safety concerns in the workplace.

If you see or know of any health and safety issues:

• Report them to your supervisor immediately.
• Also inform your worker representative so they are aware and can follow up appropriately.

Know your rights!
Your JHSC worker representatives must be posted on the Health & Safety Board at your location.

Please visit the Health and Safety page for more information.

The Local Management Committee (LMC) is a joint committee made up of both worker and employer representatives. Its purpose is to discuss workplace issues and collaborate on solutions that improve the workplace and resolve concerns.

Your worker representative attends bi-monthly meetings, gathers agenda items from staff at your location, and shares updates. If you’re experiencing a workplace issue—such as workload concerns, process inefficiencies, or other challenges—please speak with your LMC representative.

Not sure if your location has an LMC?
Ask your Steward or Unit Vice President.
If your location does not currently have one, contact your Unit Vice President to explore implementing an LMC.
