Health & Safety Representatives (HSR)

Our Health & Safety Representatives (HSR) course was conceived through a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development and Ontario’s Health and Safety Systems partners. In Ontario workplaces that regularly employ between 6 and 19 workers, a Health and Safety Representative (HSR) is mandatory. This online single-day basic eLearning program is designed to help HSRs in carrying out their legislative duties efficiently.

This HSR course covers the following topics:

• Occupational health and safety law
• Rights, duties, and responsibilities of the workplace parties
• Duties and responsibilities of the HSR under the OHSA
• Common workplace hazards
• Hazard recognition, assessment, control, and evaluation (RACE methodology) of hazard controls
• Applying the RACE methodology to a workplace hazard
• Health and safety resources available to the workplace parties

Estimated time to complete: 480 minutes
