Services
Hogan Safety Consulting offers occupational health and safety consulting services working with leadership and staff either proactively or reactively to create a workplace where what is valued, is protected.
Policy, Procedure, & Program Development
Occupational Health and Safety Legislation across Canada requires employers to establish occupational health and safety policies and programs in accordance with the regulations.
Education & Training
Similar to all provinces and territories, BC's Workers' Compensation Act requires employers to provide workers with the information, instruction, and training (as well as supervision) necessary to ensure the health and safety in carrying out their work.
Respirator Fit Testing
BC's Occupational Health and Safety Regulation requires any person who is required to wear a tight fitting face piece during the course of their work or for emergency response is required to be fit tested to ensure an effective seal.
Job Safety Analysis
As a general duty, Occupational Health and Safety legislation across Canada requires employers to ensure all workers are made aware of all known or reasonably foreseeable health or safety hazards to which they are likely to be exposed. The best, proactive way to meet this requirement is with a thorough and documented Job Safety Analysis.
Working Alone Planning
In BC and across Canada, there are additional requirements beyond identifying and controlling hazards when a worker works alone or in isolation. Working alone or in isolation means to work in circumstances where assistance would not be readily available to the worker in case of an emergency, or is injured or in ill health.
Leadership Due Diligence Coaching
Investing in your leadership, managers and supervisors to ensure they understand and embrace the organization's commitment to the safety of its workforce is fundamental to success. Leadership sets the tone and needs to carefully address concerns demonstrating to staff the values, competence and care the organization is committed to.
Accident Investigation
Dealing with significant injury or accident is a very delicate and intense time for any organization and emotions may be running high. During this period, many organizations benefit from bringing in an outside, objective investigator to meet the time-sensitive regulatory requirements (especially for incidents that are required to be reported to WorkSafeBC immediately) that must be executed with care as well as determining steps required to move forward safely.
Violence Risk Assessment
BC's Occupational Health and Safety Regulation requires a risk assessment to be performed in any workplace where there is a risk of worker injury resulting from violence arising out of their employment.
The risk assessment must include the consideration of previous experience in the workplace, the occupational experience in similar workplaces, and the location and circumstances in which work will take place.
Compliance Support
In BC, the Workers' Compensation Act and Occupational Health and Safety Regulation is enforced by WorkSafeBC Prevention Officers to ensure workplaces are in compliance. During an inspection, an Officer will ask to be shown around your worksite and may ask to see documents or have equipment put into operation. In the event that your workplace is found to be in non-compliance with the regulation and related policies, the prevention officer can issue Orders.

"The document is set up perfectly to redirect the decision making back to the leaders and staff that are directly impacted and knowledgeable about the risk of violence, their tasks and work flow while also providing the guidance, context and recommendations for them to do that."

Special Pricing for Non-Profits and New Start-ups
Many organizations believe they cannot afford occupational health and safety services; however, it can be far more costly to not invest early. And the costs extend beyond direct and indirect financial repercussions. Costs can include loss of valuable time, reputation, and workplace trust and morale. A stitch in time saves nine. I offer new businesses and non-profit organizations a 15% discount on proactive services.
