Health and Safety Consulting Services

An occupational health and safety program is a set of policies and procedures that meet minimum compliance requirements. However, a system goes beyond this. It ensures consistent review of policies, assigns responsibility for updates, and communicates changes regularly.

The system also tracks safety training needs and expiration and enforces workplace inspection follow-up with set timelines. When an OHSMS is in place, it facilitates a coordinated effort to improve workplace safety. Our expertise covers policy writing, form design, and seamless system implementation tailored to your needs.

Downloading policies from the internet and just changing the logo might seem convenient; however, we don’t encourage that approach. These policies could be outdated or from a different jurisdiction. Our extensive experience lets us promptly assess if these policies meet current legal standards. With a track record of crafting numerous policies, we offer insights on wording, formatting, and updates.

We don’t just write policies and leave; we ensure they align with your needs and company culture. Our support can be tailored to your requirements, providing as much or as little assistance as necessary.

In Ontario, Section 55.3 states that a Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development inspector may write an order for an employer to complete a workplace harassment investigation. The employer bears this order, necessitating an impartial expert with specified qualifications to produce a written report.

Our Health and Safety Consulting services step in. We possess the skills, expert knowledge, and experience to complete harassment investigations at your workplace.
Proactive action is key. Waiting for a directive is unnecessary. If you encounter a situation beyond your internal capacity, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re ready to assist as soon as you identify the need.
