Frequently Asked Questions from Ontario Hospitality Operators

What health & safety training does my hospitality business legally need?

Under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), workplaces with 20+ workers need a certified Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) . Most employers also need WHMIS, Workplace Violence & Harassment, and emergency training. If your operations involve rooftop patios or maintenance, Working at Heights (WAH) may also apply.

Can I manage safety training for multilingual teams efficiently?

Yes. Offering training in multiple languages improves safety outcomes. Our system allows you to assign and track training in 11+ languages, improving team comprehension and compliance.

How do I prepare for a safety inspection or WSIB audit?

Our consultants support you with checklists, documentation templates, and readiness reviews. Whether you're applying for WSIB rebates or preparing for a MOL visit, we help ensure you’re audit-ready.

What are my obligations if a worker refuses unsafe work?

Every worker has the right to refuse unsafe work under OHSA. Employers are legally required to investigate, respond, and follow due process. We guide employers through this process to ensure proper documentation.

How often must safety training and policies be updated?

Refresher training (e.g. JHSC, WHMIS) must occur at least every 3 years or sooner if regulations change. Policies should be reviewed annually and after any workplace incident.

Can I track safety training and incidents across multiple locations or events?

Yes—with 4SafeCom™ ; you can digitize the entire process, assign training, monitor compliance, and keep audit logs across all venues in one place.
