OHS Resource Centre Training Webinars

The JOHSC Orientation: Navigating the OHS Resource Centre webinar is available from May through December. Each 1.5-hour session features the same content, with opportunities for live questions and answers. Members are invited to attend the session that works for their schedule, as arranged with their supervisor.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll gain skills to:

  • Confidently navigate the OHS Resource Centre
  • Set up your account (for existing Health authority employees)
  • Manage meeting invites and package content
  • Schedule and adjust recurring meetings
  • Understand recorder duties during meetings

These sessions are for JOHSC members from Interior Health, Island Health, Providence Health Care, and Vancouver Coastal Health, including:

  • JOHSC Co-Chairs, Admin Assistants, and Meeting Recorders
  • Any JOHSC member interested in learning about the OHS Resource Centre
    The OHS Resource Centre is a partnership among health unions, employers, and SWITCH BC. Planning is underway for Fraser Health, Northern Health and Provincial Health Services Authority to join the platform.

JOHSC Best Practices Session for Co-chairs and Admin Assistants

As a Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC) co-chair or admin assistant, you have an important role to play in ensuring your committee is functioning well.

SWITCH BC is here to support your work through individual JOHSC Best Practices Session for Co-chairs and Admin Assistants consulting sessions designed to help you align your processes with best practice.

These one-on-one free sessions are for JOHSC co-chairs and admin assistants where the OHS Resource Centre has already been implemented. If you hold a different role on your committee and think this session would be helpful, we invite you to reach out to us.

These sessions are focused on the process and effectiveness of committee work. For technical support using the platform, see our Step by Step Guides, Manuals, or Video Tutorials pages.
