Health & Safety Consulting Firm in Toronto

 If you are in the construction business or working anywhere else where safety is a priority, chances are good that you’ve encountered the term Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) before. But, just what is it? And why should you care?” Let’s break that down to basics. In a nutshell, an OHSMS is a structured framework which helps businesses to manage the risks to safety in the workplace. It’s not just about ticking boxes or avoiding penalties (though that’s important too); it’s for providing a safer environment for everyone at the site. It is like handing out road maps showing how to handle hazards, control risks and making safety processes develop over time. At Health and Safety Advisors , we specialize in helping construction companies in Toronto and beyond develop and implement OHSMS frameworks like COR 2020 and ISO 45001.
