You should not wait for an accident to happen to commit yourself
to the practice of due diligence. Take a pro-active role now by addressing safety concerns
with appropriate solutions. We can help to prepare safety compliance reviews that are voluntary
for the companies and in the long run could save you money. In this review we identify potentials
for injuries, prepare risk assessments, and propose safety solutions involving technical documentation,
budgeting, and urgency assessment.
In addition you will have at hand all necessary supporting elements for long-term health and safety planning and budgeting. Could all your safety concerns be solved overnight? Probably not, but by taking the initiative you will ultimately do good to your business more than you ever expected.
MODIMAC as an independent professional engineering service provider also prepares health and safety pre-start reviews (PSR’s) or complete turnkey solutions based on current legal requirements.
We rely on extensive exposure of our team members to safety issues, especially in automotive assembly, metal stamping, welding, machining, woodworking, and food-processing industries.
Pre-start review (PSR) is a report where all hazards associated with the operation of a machine or process are identified according to Table 1, OHSA Regulation 528/00, s. 7. A PSR document also details all health and safety measures in compliance with approved domestic and foreign standards and codes.
Both Section 7 of OHSA Regulation 851 and MOL PSR Guidelines push for lower accident rates; however, they are also about establishing greater consistency in measures with which industrial workers are protected.
Together with Ontario safety legislature, the Bill C-45 amending Canadian Criminal Code draws attention to the greater responsibility of management and business entities towards safety. In other words, the people who directly run the business or have the authority to direct how another person does work, are held accountable by the law for providing safe industrial environments.
