NEW from AMHSA: Revised Health and Safety Committee and Health and Safety Representative Training
Dear Krystal,

New OH&S legislation is coming into effect on December 1 in Alberta. AMHSA is here to offer you the support you need to navigate these changes.

One significant area of change has to do with Health and Safety Committees (HSC) and Health and Safety Representatives (HSR). 

Some key changes that may affect your organization include:
  • Changes to the training requirements that introduce more flexibility in how you can access training, and that require that all committee members (not just co-chairs) receive training on:
  • Roles and responsibilities of co-chairs and members on HSC and HSR 
  • Obligations of work site parties 
  • Rights of workers
  • Changes to HSC and HSR duties and obligations, with the new HSC/HSR duties and obligations being:
  • Receipt, consideration, and disposition of concerns respecting the health and safety of workers 
  • Participation in the employer’s hazard assessment 
  • Making of recommendations to the employer respecting the health and safety of workers
  • Review of the employer’s work site inspection documentation
  • Changes to the HSC Terms of Reference 
Overview Webinar
Recent participants in AMHSA's Health and Safety Committee (HSC) or Health and Safety Representative (HSR) eLearning or classroom courses are invited to join us to learn more about how legislation changes may affect you or your organization. These free webinars are intended to advise past graduates of the changes to legislation and are not intended to act as a substitute for the full course.
Each free webinar will run 8:30-9:30 am and past course participants may register at the links below.

Updated HSC/HSC Training
We are also pleased to announce two fully revised instructor-led HSC/HSR courses to meet your training needs. 

Both courses will cover all legislative changes related to HSCs and HSRs, and will leave participants with a clear understanding of their roles and obligations as HSC members or HSRs. 

Both of these courses will also be available in our eLearning store in the near future. Watch our website, the new forums, or the newsletter for updates!
If you want to quickly meet the minimum training requirement for all HSC members and HSRs, sign up for our new two-hour awareness course.
If you want to provide your employees with a more comprehensive overview, enroll in our four-hour half-day course.
