Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC)

Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC) are groups within organizations that consist of both employee and employer representatives. Their main purpose is to identify and address workplace health and safety issues, fostering a safer work environment. The committee meets regularly to discuss concerns, develop safety policies, and ensure compliance with relevant health and safety regulations. By involving both sides, JHSCs promote collaboration, communication, and shared responsibility for workplace safety, ultimately reducing accidents and promoting overall employee well-being.
