Jackson Brownstein3 years ago
I took the JHSC course through 4S with Gordon as my instructor, and it was a very informative and interesting course. I was expecting something more by the book but he made it a lot more enjoyable by relating all the information to stories he had over his years of experience. I'm sure the other instructors are great as well, but Gordon really went above and beyond.
Winnie Chopra3 years ago
I had a great training session with our instructor, Lou Raggiunti, forJoint Health & Safety certification. I truly enjoyed this informative course and appreciate how the instructor took time to make sure the course was well explained and interactive. I found this course fabulously structured and organised and Mr. Lou is very calm, knowledgeable and willing to answer questions as they came up. Really enjoyed the training with him. Thank you
Chelsey Mathieu4 years ago
I was part of the JHSC part 1 and 2 hosted by 4S Consulting Services. Both parts were well put together and had tons of informative materials. Both instructors, Lou and Gordon, took time to walk through the courses and provide each participant with a thorough understanding. They shared many real-life examples and helped make the material relevant to our workplaces.

I would highly recommend taking courses through 4S Consulting and will be using them again for any of our future needs!
Cathy Currie3 years ago
I had the pleasure of taking the two (2) part Joint Health and Safety Committee course through 4S and their amazing instructor Gordon Semple. When I signed up for part one (1) I was expecting the material to be very dry and probably a bit of a snooze-fest but Gord made everything interesting and relevant. The first three days flew by and we covered a lot of material. Part two (2) was well structured and interesting and it was truly a positive and well-done experience. Thanks!
Marlene Pelton3 years ago
I can say I was dreading 2 days of Health & Safety on Zoom. Gordon Semple was my trainer for my JHSC Part 2. He was an awesome instructor and delivered the information clearly and with humour. 4S will be my go-to for future courses for myself and my staff. Thanks again!
Shaina O'Neil4 years ago
I attended 4S Consulting's JHSC-Part 1 Online Class and JHSC-Part 2 Virtual Class, and I have nothing but good things to say! Part 1 was informative, clear, and easy to navigate. Part 2 was even better, on a zoom call with a live instructor who clearly cared about the material, had experience to share, and wanted us to learn it well. Lou Raggiunti is the biggest contributing factor to this 5-star review, anybody would be lucky to learn from him. đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź Give that man a raise!
Priyanka Kainth5 years ago
I did both part 1 and 2 of the JHSC course with Lou. It was an incredible experience with the whole team and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get certified.
Alvin Villanueva4 years ago
Had the pleasure of having both Brian and Lou as my trainers for Part 2 of my JHSC certification training. Both had lots of experiences to share when answering any questions I had. Thanks!
Kal3 years ago
Completed Part 2 of the JHSC certification with Gordon Semple last week. At first I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of material but Gordon with his interesting stories and informative examples help make the material more relatable and memorable. Highly recommend! Thank you Gordon.
Homesh Bhadye8 months ago
I recently completed my Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) certification training with 4S Consulting, and it was an incredible experience. The course was well-structured, engaging, and filled with real-world examples that made complex topics easy to understand.
