Health and Safety Consulting Service

\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n

We have over 20 years of working experience and we are experts in demonstrating legislative compliance so we know what it means when your company is inspected by government enforcement agencies.

\r\n

If your organization wants to make improvements in workplace safety and is ready to implement those changes, Health and safety consulting services can give you an analysis and guidance that you can use to implement safety changes. A safety consultant is not and should not be part of your management strategy, but should be used as an independent, “fresh set of eyes” to help you detect and solve problems. All safety consultants are knowledgeable in a broad range of topics related to occupational health and safety, but besides general safety competencies, SafetyON has specialized expertise in OHSA and the Canada Labour Code Part II, which will help you achieve and exceed regulatory compliance. We can help you by providing custom-tailored analysis and training content, and help you translate these recommendations into actions and a plan for ongoing safety management. Choosing to engage a safety consultant from SafetyON can be the first step towards creating a workplace that is better, safer, and more compliant with Ontario and Canadian legislation.

As before the COVID pandemic became widely spread, it has always been important to analyze and scrutinize the flaws in safety procedure. Case studies are a useful way to learn from any missteps and thus utilize the experience to avoid a repeat in the future. Today’s example pertains to a South Asian food restaurant which was forced to close due to misconduct and violations of by-laws during July of the pandemic.

\n

As with many other restaurants, Royal Thai Takeout Express was forced to dedicate itself solely to takeout and delivery services in light of the heavy restrictions governing what eateries can stay open. Although offering that type of food service previously, Royal Thai was struggling to meet the newly increased demand, something close to triple the original order volume. Though this was great for them in terms of business, it began to mean shortcuts were being taken as a result of the growth. While regular food handling protocols were observed for the most part, the staff largely didn’t believe that the COVID-19 precautionary bylaws were relevant to them. Further they argued in written submissions as well that “we all know each other, work together and don’t travel, so why should we need to wear masks?”.

\n

This is a key component of why this restaurant was closed down, and is in fact a great chance to learn why education is an important response to issues like this. At a later hearing to determine the outcome of the event and ensuing discipline, the restaurant staff were all given council by a provincially recommended Safety Consultant. They explained the depth of the misinformation the team had, and how their actions could lead to infections of both their family as well as the customers through transmission in the food. The educational aspect proved invaluable and the restaurant is set to reopen after a several month hiatus. During that time Royal Thai Takeout Express , just like countless restaurants around the globe, can adapt itself to better serve and survive as a business in the COVID-19 world.

\n

Considering the unprecedented nature of what we’re all going through, it’s of the utmost importance to listen to the advisement and teachings given by those who do have the expertise on the subject. Social distancing and precautionary measures are of vital importance in ensuring limited viral spread of the disease and allowing our medical infrastructure to handle it as best we can. We need to act like we’re all in this together, because we are.

Let’s face it; we’ve all thought about doing construction work. Just rolling up our sleeves and getting down and dirty to do some honest labouring. In fact, according to Statistics Canada “In 2010, 7.1% of working Canadians aged 15 or older presently, or had, worked in the construction industry”. And the trend only continued with an increase of over 50% since 2000, when 806,900 people were worked in the construction industry. Though the merits are numerous, including generally higher pay brackets for the role, self-management and others, these boons are not without drawbacks. Chief amongst those is the age-old notion of the dangers lurking in a construction field.  There is some truth to this, and in 2017 the United States federal government statistics showed that one in five worker deaths that year were in construction or a related industry. So what does this tell us? In short, there needs to be a strict policy of safety that governs every worksite in Canada. Thankfully the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (or CCOHS) monitors and regulates all workplace procedural guides, and confers governing policies to maximize worker safety. But the feet on the ground enforcing these plans and instructions are the safety consultants. Most building sites in Canada will either deploy their own in-house construction safety consultant, or they will receive visits from one dispatched to the site. They are usually some of the first people inspecting a site before workers arrive, and there’s an abundance of tasks for them to accomplish. From giving advice regarding the safety of the workers on-site or coming up with solutions on how to optimize and improve safety, they have their work cut out for them. Through posting appropriate signage, briefing teams and utilizing their substantial knowledge, the construction safety consultant makes it their business to prepare a site so that everyone can make it home to their family at the end of every workday. It’s essential to always bring your vest, boots and hardhat to the job-site, but what’s equally as important is making sure that you feel safe at work. And you can bet that if a safety consultant has been there, then you’re good to go!

There’s been two vastly different outcomes for every business during this time of global crisis; success from adaption or failure and closure. Some companies inherently have it easier in this department, with the office world and many other sectors easily able to migrate the bulwark of tasks online. But for restaurants, essential services and the retail sector, the need to evolve your business to suit the times is paramount. And those that have managed to synchronize themselves with the demand around them have often seen unparalleled successes. As an example take a look at “the Belmont”. Friday and Saturday nights at the Hotel Belmont’s lounge and nightclub venues look a lot different today than they did a few months ago. Instead of people packed in shoulder-to-shoulder, drinking cocktails and dancing to music, the focus is now squarely on food, with parties of no more than six people sitting down for meals at sanitized tables that are spaced well apart and served by masked staff. Though a complete departure from the aesthetic of old, it is no doubt a necessary one that everyone has been on aboard complying with.

\n

Don Falconer, the Hotel Belmont’s general manager of food and beverage went on to state that “when we shut down in March due to COVID-19, we really started putting a plan in place right away, knowing that when we reopened that there would be further restrictions and that we weren’t going to be able to pack the room the way we used to,”. That kind of long term planning and foresight are great tools considering the somewhat flexibility they’re now afforded in this position. Although many bars and nightclubs remain closed, those that have opened have had to make changes, ranging from operating on a reservation-only basis with table service to major pivots like what happened at The Living Room and The Basement at Hotel Belmont, in order to comply with provincial health-and-safety rules while staying viable.

\n


Last week, dishearteningly after seeing an increasing number of positive COVID-19 test results particularly among younger people, provincial health officer Dr. Henry tightened the restrictions for bars and restaurants, so that all patrons must sit at a table — they cannot stand — and there is no liquor self-service and no dancing. Inspections will be more frequent and events must end by 11 p.m. The idea is to reduce lineups, gathering and pressure points and thus eliminate as much potential risk as possible. Some venues had already implemented similar rule and an even larger number have altered their business model in the recent months to accommodate the on-the-fly changes occurring to bylaws and regulations.

\n


There’s so much that we still don’t fully understand, nor are we prepared to battle, in terms of the COVID-19 infection. So at this time safety and slow measures are the best way to move forward. If that means changing up the way you have to do business, that’s better than not doing business at all. Safety does and always should come first.

", "page_meta_title": "How to Transform Your Business to Stay Afloat During COVID-19 | Safety", "page_meta_key": "how to transform your business, stay afloat during COVID-19", "page_meta_desc": "How to Transform Your Business to Stay Afloat During COVID-19 - Safetyon.ca - Toronto, Ontario", "featured": "1", "created_on": "2020-09-28 04:55:23", "page_image": null }, { "post_id": "63", "cat_id": "3", "post_title": "The Low Point for the Travel Industry", "post_slug": "the-low-point-for-the-travel-industry", "post_desc": "

There’s very little that COVID-19 has left unchanged or unaffected during its rampage through 2020. Long the industry of luxury and opulence, travel is something that has notoriously come with a tremendous price tag. The high costs of airfare, hotels and other expenditures have left a gap in who can afford to embark on trips at all. However, now it’s those very airlines and hotels who are themselves struggling. An aversion to being close to one another, as well as general common sense, have kept most people from wanting to book tickets on an airplane and thus be stuck in close proximity with others. Hotels, who’ve never enjoyed the best reputation for hygiene, are now even less desirable to visit as well. This has been a harder Quarter on the airline and hotel industries, but is that going to change any time soon?

\n

The short answer is no. For the past four months, there has been a microscopic fraction of the usual numbers for air travel and hotel bookings both. Most travel is only by necessity and allowed for stringent business purposes. The fact that the borders between many countries still remain closed does not help the situation much either. Many airline companies have tried to make the best of the situation and stay afloat, but these plans have largely been met with public and health official’s criticisms. For example, Delta choosing to sell only “every other seat” is a plan that on paper may sound effective, but is anything but. Any configuration of passengers on a plane is dangerous simply due to the fact that everyone is in an enclosed space and sharing recycled air. There still needs to be either a tremendous redesign in airplane layouts or a vaccine before that kind of service can resume as it was before.

\n


Many airlines have filed for government intervention and stimulus money to keep their companies going. Though a subjective point, a large majority of the companies have been denied their claims for seemingly fair reasoning. For example, many can liquidated assets, offer reduced fair pre-bought tickets for the future or conduct business in other ways that may still be at a loss, but shows some effort. Unfortunately, almost none of the applying companies even remotely tried strategies like this, and instead rely on government bailouts that are designed to help people, not companies.

\n

As with everything else, COVID has changed the airline industry.travel as we know it is going to take years to go back to the way it was if that ever does happen. But in the meantime let’s hope the companies in the travel sector can adapt, incorporate new strategies, and survive the pandemic like the rest of us.

There’s new information and updates almost every day in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, and as it continues, inspections by provincial inspectors have increased in Ontario. From the smallest townships all the way to the heart of Toronto, the need for workplaces to prepare and redesign their spaces to suit the current world we live in is paramount.

\n

The director of the occupational health and safety branch at the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development Anne Duffy answers some questions to shed light on how the provincial government is working to ensure compliance through the pandemic. These are unforeseen times and everyone is doing their best to make sure Canada is navigating is safely and effectively. Anne states that inspectors will attend the workplace to audit for compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and regulations as was done in the past. However it may be specific to COVID prevention or may also be a look at all workplace hazards. A workplace can be audited for safety randomly, as a follow-up on a report or by request of staff or management. It is also crucial in current inspections that the inspector attempt to maintain physical distancing during their field visit. They self-screen daily and do not attend any workplace if they fail the self-assessment, as well as always ensure they’re wearing the maximum amount of appreciate PPE.

\n

Many workers and workplaces are actually unsure about how to design their space to be as safe as possible, or if they in fact are committing violations. This is where there’s a lot of encouragement to air on the safe side and contact the government with your questions. Anne Duffy reports that since March 11th, the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development has conducted 14,339 field visits related to COVID-19 — including both proactive inspections and reactive investigations — and issued 10,263 orders while on these visits. This is a huge uptick from this time last year, wherein the numbers were substantially lower in nearly every category of visit.

This pandemic will hopefully not last too much longer, but in the meantime it’s a relief to see and know that the Canadian and local provincial governments are taking this threat seriously and responding accordingly.

Health and Safety Consulting Service

\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n

We have over 20 years of working experience and we are experts in demonstrating legislative compliance so we know what it means when your company is inspected by government enforcement agencies.

\r\n

If your organization wants to make improvements in workplace safety and is ready to implement those changes, Health and safety consulting services can give you an analysis and guidance that you can use to implement safety changes. A safety consultant is not and should not be part of your management strategy, but should be used as an independent, “fresh set of eyes” to help you detect and solve problems. All safety consultants are knowledgeable in a broad range of topics related to occupational health and safety, but besides general safety competencies, SafetyON has specialized expertise in OHSA and the Canada Labour Code Part II, which will help you achieve and exceed regulatory compliance. We can help you by providing custom-tailored analysis and training content, and help you translate these recommendations into actions and a plan for ongoing safety management. Choosing to engage a safety consultant from SafetyON can be the first step towards creating a workplace that is better, safer, and more compliant with Ontario and Canadian legislation.

As before the COVID pandemic became widely spread, it has always been important to analyze and scrutinize the flaws in safety procedure. Case studies are a useful way to learn from any missteps and thus utilize the experience to avoid a repeat in the future. Today’s example pertains to a South Asian food restaurant which was forced to close due to misconduct and violations of by-laws during July of the pandemic.

\n

As with many other restaurants, Royal Thai Takeout Express was forced to dedicate itself solely to takeout and delivery services in light of the heavy restrictions governing what eateries can stay open. Although offering that type of food service previously, Royal Thai was struggling to meet the newly increased demand, something close to triple the original order volume. Though this was great for them in terms of business, it began to mean shortcuts were being taken as a result of the growth. While regular food handling protocols were observed for the most part, the staff largely didn’t believe that the COVID-19 precautionary bylaws were relevant to them. Further they argued in written submissions as well that “we all know each other, work together and don’t travel, so why should we need to wear masks?”.

\n

This is a key component of why this restaurant was closed down, and is in fact a great chance to learn why education is an important response to issues like this. At a later hearing to determine the outcome of the event and ensuing discipline, the restaurant staff were all given council by a provincially recommended Safety Consultant. They explained the depth of the misinformation the team had, and how their actions could lead to infections of both their family as well as the customers through transmission in the food. The educational aspect proved invaluable and the restaurant is set to reopen after a several month hiatus. During that time Royal Thai Takeout Express , just like countless restaurants around the globe, can adapt itself to better serve and survive as a business in the COVID-19 world.

\n

Considering the unprecedented nature of what we’re all going through, it’s of the utmost importance to listen to the advisement and teachings given by those who do have the expertise on the subject. Social distancing and precautionary measures are of vital importance in ensuring limited viral spread of the disease and allowing our medical infrastructure to handle it as best we can. We need to act like we’re all in this together, because we are.

", "page_meta_title": "Case Study; Royal Thai Takeout Express - Safetyon.ca", "page_meta_key": "case study, royal thai takeout express", "page_meta_desc": "Case Study; Royal Thai Takeout Express - Toronto, Ontario", "featured": "1", "created_on": "2020-10-19 03:07:30", "page_image": null }, { "post_id": "65", "cat_id": "4", "post_title": "How to Stay Safe in the Construction Field", "post_slug": "how-to-stay-safe-in-the-construction-field", "post_desc": "

Let’s face it; we’ve all thought about doing construction work. Just rolling up our sleeves and getting down and dirty to do some honest labouring. In fact, according to Statistics Canada “In 2010, 7.1% of working Canadians aged 15 or older presently, or had, worked in the construction industry”. And the trend only continued with an increase of over 50% since 2000, when 806,900 people were worked in the construction industry. Though the merits are numerous, including generally higher pay brackets for the role, self-management and others, these boons are not without drawbacks. Chief amongst those is the age-old notion of the dangers lurking in a construction field.  There is some truth to this, and in 2017 the United States federal government statistics showed that one in five worker deaths that year were in construction or a related industry. So what does this tell us? In short, there needs to be a strict policy of safety that governs every worksite in Canada. Thankfully the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (or CCOHS) monitors and regulates all workplace procedural guides, and confers governing policies to maximize worker safety. But the feet on the ground enforcing these plans and instructions are the safety consultants. Most building sites in Canada will either deploy their own in-house construction safety consultant, or they will receive visits from one dispatched to the site. They are usually some of the first people inspecting a site before workers arrive, and there’s an abundance of tasks for them to accomplish. From giving advice regarding the safety of the workers on-site or coming up with solutions on how to optimize and improve safety, they have their work cut out for them. Through posting appropriate signage, briefing teams and utilizing their substantial knowledge, the construction safety consultant makes it their business to prepare a site so that everyone can make it home to their family at the end of every workday. It’s essential to always bring your vest, boots and hardhat to the job-site, but what’s equally as important is making sure that you feel safe at work. And you can bet that if a safety consultant has been there, then you’re good to go!

There’s been two vastly different outcomes for every business during this time of global crisis; success from adaption or failure and closure. Some companies inherently have it easier in this department, with the office world and many other sectors easily able to migrate the bulwark of tasks online. But for restaurants, essential services and the retail sector, the need to evolve your business to suit the times is paramount. And those that have managed to synchronize themselves with the demand around them have often seen unparalleled successes. As an example take a look at “the Belmont”. Friday and Saturday nights at the Hotel Belmont’s lounge and nightclub venues look a lot different today than they did a few months ago. Instead of people packed in shoulder-to-shoulder, drinking cocktails and dancing to music, the focus is now squarely on food, with parties of no more than six people sitting down for meals at sanitized tables that are spaced well apart and served by masked staff. Though a complete departure from the aesthetic of old, it is no doubt a necessary one that everyone has been on aboard complying with.

\n

Last week, dishearteningly after seeing an increasing number of positive COVID-19 test results particularly among younger people, provincial health officer Dr. Henry tightened the restrictions for bars and restaurants, so that all patrons must sit at a table — they cannot stand — and there is no liquor self-service and no dancing. Inspections will be more frequent and events must end by 11 p.m. The idea is to reduce lineups, gathering and pressure points and thus eliminate as much potential risk as possible. Some venues had already implemented similar rule and an even larger number have altered their business model in the recent months to accommodate the on-the-fly changes occurring to bylaws and regulations.

There’s so much that we still don’t fully understand, nor are we prepared to battle, in terms of the COVID-19 infection. So at this time safety and slow measures are the best way to move forward. If that means changing up the way you have to do business, that’s better than not doing business at all. Safety does and always should come first.

There’s very little that COVID-19 has left unchanged or unaffected during its rampage through 2020. Long the industry of luxury and opulence, travel is something that has notoriously come with a tremendous price tag. The high costs of airfare, hotels and other expenditures have left a gap in who can afford to embark on trips at all. However, now it’s those very airlines and hotels who are themselves struggling. An aversion to being close to one another, as well as general common sense, have kept most people from wanting to book tickets on an airplane and thus be stuck in close proximity with others. Hotels, who’ve never enjoyed the best reputation for hygiene, are now even less desirable to visit as well. This has been a harder Quarter on the airline and hotel industries, but is that going to change any time soon?

\n

The short answer is no. For the past four months, there has been a microscopic fraction of the usual numbers for air travel and hotel bookings both. Most travel is only by necessity and allowed for stringent business purposes. The fact that the borders between many countries still remain closed does not help the situation much either. Many airline companies have tried to make the best of the situation and stay afloat, but these plans have largely been met with public and health official’s criticisms. For example, Delta choosing to sell only “every other seat” is a plan that on paper may sound effective, but is anything but. Any configuration of passengers on a plane is dangerous simply due to the fact that everyone is in an enclosed space and sharing recycled air. There still needs to be either a tremendous redesign in airplane layouts or a vaccine before that kind of service can resume as it was before.

Many airlines have filed for government intervention and stimulus money to keep their companies going. Though a subjective point, a large majority of the companies have been denied their claims for seemingly fair reasoning. For example, many can liquidated assets, offer reduced fair pre-bought tickets for the future or conduct business in other ways that may still be at a loss, but shows some effort. Unfortunately, almost none of the applying companies even remotely tried strategies like this, and instead rely on government bailouts that are designed to help people, not companies.

There’s new information and updates almost every day in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, and as it continues, inspections by provincial inspectors have increased in Ontario. From the smallest townships all the way to the heart of Toronto, the need for workplaces to prepare and redesign their spaces to suit the current world we live in is paramount.

The director of the occupational health and safety branch at the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development Anne Duffy answers some questions to shed light on how the provincial government is working to ensure compliance through the pandemic. These are unforeseen times and everyone is doing their best to make sure Canada is navigating is safely and effectively. Anne states that inspectors will attend the workplace to audit for compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and regulations as was done in the past. However it may be specific to COVID prevention or may also be a look at all workplace hazards. A workplace can be audited for safety randomly, as a follow-up on a report or by request of staff or management. It is also crucial in current inspections that the inspector attempt to maintain physical distancing during their field visit. They self-screen daily and do not attend any workplace if they fail the self-assessment, as well as always ensure they’re wearing the maximum amount of appreciate PPE.

\n

Many workers and workplaces are actually unsure about how to design their space to be as safe as possible, or if they in fact are committing violations. This is where there’s a lot of encouragement to air on the safe side and contact the government with your questions. Anne Duffy reports that since March 11th, the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development has conducted 14,339 field visits related to COVID-19 — including both proactive inspections and reactive investigations — and issued 10,263 orders while on these visits. This is a huge uptick from this time last year, wherein the numbers were substantially lower in nearly every category of visit.

This pandemic will hopefully not last too much longer, but in the meantime it’s a relief to see and know that the Canadian and local provincial governments are taking this threat seriously and responding accordingly.

As before the COVID pandemic became widely spread, it has always been important to analyze and scrutinize the flaws in safety procedure. Case studies are a useful way to learn from any missteps and thus utilize the experience to avoid a repeat in the future. Today’s example pertains to a South Asian food restaurant which was forced to close due to misconduct and violations of by-laws during July of the pandemic.

\n

As with many other restaurants, Royal Thai Takeout Express was forced to dedicate itself solely to takeout and delivery services in light of the heavy restrictions governing what eateries can stay open. Although offering that type of food service previously, Royal Thai was struggling to meet the newly increased demand, something close to triple the original order volume. Though this was great for them in terms of business, it began to mean shortcuts were being taken as a result of the growth. While regular food handling protocols were observed for the most part, the staff largely didn’t believe that the COVID-19 precautionary bylaws were relevant to them. Further they argued in written submissions as well that “we all know each other, work together and don’t travel, so why should we need to wear masks?”.

\n

This is a key component of why this restaurant was closed down, and is in fact a great chance to learn why education is an important response to issues like this. At a later hearing to determine the outcome of the event and ensuing discipline, the restaurant staff were all given council by a provincially recommended Safety Consultant. They explained the depth of the misinformation the team had, and how their actions could lead to infections of both their family as well as the customers through transmission in the food. The educational aspect proved invaluable and the restaurant is set to reopen after a several month hiatus. During that time Royal Thai Takeout Express , just like countless restaurants around the globe, can adapt itself to better serve and survive as a business in the COVID-19 world.

\n

Considering the unprecedented nature of what we’re all going through, it’s of the utmost importance to listen to the advisement and teachings given by those who do have the expertise on the subject. Social distancing and precautionary measures are of vital importance in ensuring limited viral spread of the disease and allowing our medical infrastructure to handle it as best we can. We need to act like we’re all in this together, because we are.

Let’s face it; we’ve all thought about doing construction work. Just rolling up our sleeves and getting down and dirty to do some honest labouring. In fact, according to Statistics Canada “In 2010, 7.1% of working Canadians aged 15 or older presently, or had, worked in the construction industry”. And the trend only continued with an increase of over 50% since 2000, when 806,900 people were worked in the construction industry. Though the merits are numerous, including generally higher pay brackets for the role, self-management and others, these boons are not without drawbacks. Chief amongst those is the age-old notion of the dangers lurking in a construction field.  There is some truth to this, and in 2017 the United States federal government statistics showed that one in five worker deaths that year were in construction or a related industry. So what does this tell us? In short, there needs to be a strict policy of safety that governs every worksite in Canada. Thankfully the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (or CCOHS) monitors and regulates all workplace procedural guides, and confers governing policies to maximize worker safety. But the feet on the ground enforcing these plans and instructions are the safety consultants. Most building sites in Canada will either deploy their own in-house construction safety consultant, or they will receive visits from one dispatched to the site. They are usually some of the first people inspecting a site before workers arrive, and there’s an abundance of tasks for them to accomplish. From giving advice regarding the safety of the workers on-site or coming up with solutions on how to optimize and improve safety, they have their work cut out for them. Through posting appropriate signage, briefing teams and utilizing their substantial knowledge, the construction safety consultant makes it their business to prepare a site so that everyone can make it home to their family at the end of every workday. It’s essential to always bring your vest, boots and hardhat to the job-site, but what’s equally as important is making sure that you feel safe at work. And you can bet that if a safety consultant has been there, then you’re good to go!

There’s been two vastly different outcomes for every business during this time of global crisis; success from adaption or failure and closure. Some companies inherently have it easier in this department, with the office world and many other sectors easily able to migrate the bulwark of tasks online. But for restaurants, essential services and the retail sector, the need to evolve your business to suit the times is paramount. And those that have managed to synchronize themselves with the demand around them have often seen unparalleled successes. As an example take a look at “the Belmont”. Friday and Saturday nights at the Hotel Belmont’s lounge and nightclub venues look a lot different today than they did a few months ago. Instead of people packed in shoulder-to-shoulder, drinking cocktails and dancing to music, the focus is now squarely on food, with parties of no more than six people sitting down for meals at sanitized tables that are spaced well apart and served by masked staff. Though a complete departure from the aesthetic of old, it is no doubt a necessary one that everyone has been on aboard complying with.

Don Falconer, the Hotel Belmont’s general manager of food and beverage went on to state that “when we shut down in March due to COVID-19, we really started putting a plan in place right away, knowing that when we reopened that there would be further restrictions and that we weren’t going to be able to pack the room the way we used to,”.

Health and Safety Consulting Service

\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n

We have over 20 years of working experience and we are experts in demonstrating legislative compliance so we know what it means when your company is inspected by government enforcement agencies.

\r\n

If your organization wants to make improvements in workplace safety and is ready to implement those changes, Health and safety consulting services can give you an analysis and guidance that you can use to implement safety changes. A safety consultant is not and should not be part of your management strategy, but should be used as an independent, “fresh set of eyes” to help you detect and solve problems. All safety consultants are knowledgeable in a broad range of topics related to occupational health and safety, but besides general safety competencies, SafetyON has specialized expertise in OHSA and the Canada Labour Code Part II, which will help you achieve and exceed regulatory compliance. We can help you by providing custom-tailored analysis and training content, and help you translate these recommendations into actions and a plan for ongoing safety management. Choosing to engage a safety consultant from SafetyON can be the first step towards creating a workplace that is better, safer, and more compliant with Ontario and Canadian legislation.

SafetyON’s safety consultants can provide you with a variety of services, such as a comprehensive safety analysis, workplace inspections, gap analysis of existing safety programs and policies, training programs based on our analyses, policy and manual development, and third-party auditing.

SafetyON’s CRSP safety consultants can also help you prepare for audits and deal with issues that require immediate and urgent action. We also offer set-curriculum training courses for professionals. (Please see our Available Training Courses page for more information.)

We understand how policies will translate into action in any given workplace.
