• Inspections
• Site safety requirements (material storage, personal protective equipment, equipment and machinery, public and occupant safety, personal conduct, etc.)

2) Training requirements:

• Identify worker training under the Act and Construction Reg., (WHMIS, first-aid/CPR) that needs to be carried out.
• Identify certification, trade and JHSC certification and specific training (confined space, scaffold erection, cranes, forklift, fall protection, etc.) requirements.

3) On Site Activity:

• Review contractor & site supervisor's responsibilities. Ensure general health and safety rules are being implemented. Identify progressive discipline where required.
• Conduct project health and safety tool box meetings. Verify subcontractors' representatives to the JHSC (meeting minutes, inspections, etc.).
• Ensure proper documentation availability (Act and Regulations, Certificate of Clearance, MSDS, orders by the MOL, hoist/crane certificates, etc.)

We develop these systems in conjunction with the management team to ensure that their company's standards are identified and met. We develop a safety program and identify the systems to ensure it is implemented.

We have over 17 years of experience in the construction health and safety field. Our safety experience in construction began when we worked with Fluor Daniel Canada Inc. (Ford Paint Facility) as a Safety Specialist: On that project we were responsible for the maintenance and enforcement of their existing, all encompassing construction safety programs and procedures at the 825,000 square foot, grass roots paint facility construction site. Issues regarding all process equipment including paintspray booths and associated robotics, ovens and conveyor systems, water recirculation systems, ventilation systems, fire protection and security systems, etc. were supervised. We chaired multi-union Joint Safety & Health Committee meetings, conducted site inspections, confined space analysis as well as various other construction safety related tasks.

At the end of that project we went to Xerox Canada Inc. as a Safety Specialist we were responsible for the enforcement and development of environment, safety and health standards during the construction of the second phase of Line #1. We conducted inspections, incident investigations and reported on substandard conditions. We were also the liaison for all permitting and approvals between Xerox and various agencies during the construction project. We conducted hazard analysis operability studies (HAZOPS) and made recommendations based on our findings.

We have also worked in health and safety mining / long hole drilling and government contracts.

We have also received accreditation from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) to be an approved provider of Joint Safety and Health Committee training in the manufacturing and construction field.

The owner of the company holds the Canadian Registered Safety Professionals designation, the Certified Health and Safety Consultant designation, the international Certified Safety Professionals designation and the Construction Safety Representative certificate from the Construction Safety Association of Ontario.

I contracted Stanford Brown the Founder and President of Raising the Standard Consulting Inc to manage our Corporate Safety Program which included conducting, training, generating and completing all required Provincial Construction certificates and permits. He also conducted and supervised five on site safety specialists during the project. They conducted site surveys for safety control, developed and instituted providence and site safety programs, and conducted industrial hygiene measurements for various hazardous materials. To initiate the project Stanford converted our US OSHA based health and safety manual and training requirements to the Canadian Legislation for Ontario and ensured we met all related regulations during the project.

The project value was $300 000.00 US .

I would not hesitate to recommend Stanford Brown to anyone who requires his level of expertise and leadership.

Recognition for finalizing the Xerox EH&S segment of the new process installation for Line 2 on schedule.

Received Fluor Constructors Canada Limited Safety Award for Outstanding Safety Achievement (+500,000 safe work hours) .
