How do I know if my business requires a joint health and safety committee? If your workplace has 20 or more workers overall within your business, you need a joint health and safety committee. This includes any workplace where there are 20 or more workers employed at the workplace for longer than a month. Goverment Safety Officers may also order that a joint committee be established in any other workplace or even if you have less than 20 workers. How many joint health and safety committee members in BC do I need on my committee? A JHSC joint health and safety committee in BC must have at least four members, and at least half of the members must be worker representatives. For the purpose of a joint committee, a worker representative must be someone who does not exercise managerial functions. Managerial functions generally relate to the overall direction at the workplace and may include disciplining workers and representing management in labour relations matters. A government safety officer may require you to have more than 4 members on your committee depending on the size of your business, number of employees, number of departments, number of locations and hazard rating. We recommend you have at least 6 members on your committee as a minimum (2 management reps, 4 employee reps). 1 management rep and the other 1 employee rep can be trained as alternates.
