Most Ontario workplaces, with 6 to 19 regularly employed workers, require a Health and Safety Representative (HSR). The role of the HSR is to support health and safety in the workplace. This is a one day e-learning course designed to help Health and Safety Representatives fulfil their legislative duties and requirements.
