Most workplaces with 20 or more workers are required to have at least one worker and one management person serve as certified members of a workplace Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC). Workplaces with more than five but less than 20 workers are not usually required to have a JHSC. Instead, workers must select a person from among themselves to be a health and safety representative.
