Workers Health and Safety Centre (WHSC)
The Workers Health and Safety Centre (WHSC) provides education essential to all workers and all workplace representatives who play an active roll in improving the workplace and the community. Their mandate is to develop and deliver occupational health and safety information and training that empowers workers and workplace representatives to improve the work environment and worker well-being. Since workers are citizens too, they strive to promote community awareness of prevention issues.

The Workers Centre is unique among the 13 organizations funded by the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.

Through the WHSC website, safety activists can access the 2002 course training schedule developed and delivered by the Centre or Centre trained representatives. Training includes Basic Certification Training and Workplace Hazard Specific Training essential for at least two representatives (one employer and one worker representative) for each Workplace Health and Safety Committee representing workers in a workplace of 20 or more employees or a workplace with a hazardous substance on site in the Province of Ontario as per the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act. The Centre provides legislated WHIMIS training plus a multitude of additional modules for those pro-active workplaces who wish to ‘go beyond what the law requires’ in the interest of providing the safest and most ergonomically advanced work place environments.
