Health and Safety Consulting Services
At Health & Safety Professionals Inc. (HSPI), we pride ourselves on our personalized approach to health and safety consulting services. Every client is unique, and we take the time to truly understand your company’s culture and challenges. We believe that a one-size-fits-all solution doesn’t apply to occupational health and safety.
Our team is dedicated to crafting tailored strategies that reflect your individual needs and goals. Working closely with you ensures a fresh perspective that fosters mutual learning and growth. Let us guide you with our expertise as we navigate the intricacies of your safety journey together.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
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.
POLICY WRITING
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 These policies could be outdated or from a different jurisdiction.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.
HARASSMENT INVESTIGATION
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.
HEALTH AND SAFETY AUDITS
Audits serve as your system’s ultimate assessment, whether internal or external. With a quarter-century of experience, Health & Safety Professionals Inc. has prepared several clients for the Workwell Audit by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. We’ve contributed to internal audit teams for prominent international utilities, even taking the lead. Our expertise extends to providing internal audit training to clients.
Moreover, our capabilities encompass the design of personalized audit tools tailored to your specific needs. Our comprehensive audit services ensure the robustness of your systems and processes.
INCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS
Equipped with specialized training, our consultants investigate incidents spanning critical injuries, near misses, and instances of violence and harassment. Our impartial approach aids employers in uncovering incident causes, shedding light on contributing and underlying factors. Our reports meticulously detail event sequences, observations, conclusions, and actionable recommendations.
Our commitment extends beyond response; we prioritize the prevention of future incidents. Enhancing your organization’s occupational health and safety management system ensures a safer work environment, aligning with our core mission.
JHSC COMMITTEES
Our collaboration with companies extends to crafting schedules, inspection and reporting forms, and documentation policies for Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs). As a Chief Prevention Officer approved provider, HSPI delivers Basic Certification Training: Part One, Part Two, and Refresher aligned with the 2015 Standards.
We acknowledge the challenges some JHSCs face in conducting meetings, providing recommendations, and defining their terms of reference. Amidst the COVID-19 landscape, numerous JHSCs have sought our guidance for their procedures. We invite you to let HSPI be part of your JHSC meetings, offering valuable insights and recommendations to bolster your committee’s effectiveness.
OFFICE ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENT
At Health & Safety Professionals Inc., we specialize in office ergonomic assessments. A registered nurse (RN) evaluates your workspace, delivering a comprehensive report and practical suggestions for enhancing its ergonomics. Our assessment doesn’t end there – we follow up post-implementation, ensuring efficacy and addressing any additional needs.
For clients in proximity to our office, we offer a unique service. We’ll personally guide you to your preferred office retailer, leveraging our assessment insights to help you select suitable office furniture. Your comfort and well-being are our priorities, and we’re here to ensure your workspace optimally aligns with those goals.
WORKPLACE HAZARD ASSESSMENT
At HSPI, we conduct workplace hazard assessments using a risk assessment methodology. Collaborating closely with employers, we tailor a suitable solution for your workplace. A thorough hazard identification process is carried out that takes into consideration the people, equipment, materials, environment, and processes in the workplace.
Identifying hazards is our priority. HSPI provides insightful commentary, actionable recommendations, effective strategies, and feasible options. Our goal is to mitigate hazards through elimination, prevention, minimization, or control while aligning with your operational needs. This assessment marks the inception of your Occupational Health and Safety Management System, safeguarding your workplace’s well-being.
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) become imperative when worker safety is at heightened risk. Collaborating closely, HSPI engages operators, JHSCs, Occupational Health and Safety Consultants, Health and Safety Representatives, and managers in crafting these vital procedures. Our involvement extends to creating procedures and forms tailored to your specific workplace.
Moreover, we offer a step forward – the digitization of forms. This advancement enables streamlined tracking of inspections, work orders, and maintenance records. HSPI is dedicated to enhancing your safety processes, ensuring efficiency, and promoting a safer work environment.
