Questions about our services

What’s a “safety program”?

A safety program is a set of procedures, guidelines, and checklists that should be followed to create a safer work environment and prevent accidental or long-term injuries.

As health and safety consultants, what do you do?

We help you create a safer, healthier workplace at every level of your business. That includes identifying risks, creating solutions, providing training, and establishing accountability.

How often do I need a workplace safety assessment?

Ideally, your business should be getting a workplace safety assessment every year. It’ll help you maintain higher safety standards and find out about cost or time-saving safety improvements.

How can you create safety for all kinds of businesses?

By combining leading safety systems like ISO 45001:2018 with the expertise of your critical stakeholders and our knowledge of provincial and federal regulations.

Are you able to provide certification as a “qualified person”?

Yes. With our experience and credentials, we can help you create or adjust certified safety processes and documents.

Can you help my business earn a Certificate of Recognition (COR®)?

We absolutely can. Our past experience working with government regulators gives us a unique perspective into what you need to do to be recognized for maintaining high safety standards.

Questions about our courses

Is WHMIS training mandatory in British Columbia?

The government doesn’t require workers to have a WHMIS certificate to work, but it’s something that many employers look for - and expect to see - when they’re hiring.

Do I only need to take a course once?

It depends on your industry. OHS regulations change over time, so some industries require members of an organization to take “refresher” courses every few years.

Are your courses for managers or workers?

Both! Safety isn’t just for one group of employees in an organization. Everyone should be familiar with the risks and corresponding protective measures in their workplace.
