Welcome to the Faculty of Forestry Safety Committee (FFSC) website. This committee monitors safety related incidents, procedures, and the overall safety program and forwards recommendations to the appropriate supervisor or administrator.
What is JOHSC?
The Workers Compensation Act requires that most Employers in the province have a Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC).
Due to the number of staff and workers at UBC and the diversity of occupations and relative hazards, UBC has chosen to implement JOHSCs within all areas of the university.
A JOHSC is an advisory group consisting of workers and employers working together to improve occupational health and safety in their workplace. The JOHSC has a mandate to advise, assist and make recommendations on policy and procedures, which will improve health, safety, and personal security of all workers.
Learn more about the structure of Health and Safety Committees at UBC in the Roles & Responsibilities section.
