"We needed help when we wanted to achieve COR certification with BCCSA"

“Diverse Construction is a company in the Fraser Valley that builds a wide variety of residential and commercial buildings. We employ approximately 50 people and typically have 4-5 sites that each facilitate up to 80 sub-trade workers. Diverse has strived for several years to establish a health and safety program. We have had good progress, however, we needed help when we wanted to achieve COR certification with BCCSA.
…Angela (Collective Safety) came highly recommended as she has helped establish many successful safety programs and it highly respected in her field. Right from the beginning Angela gave us a vision of how our company could achieve our goals within the time frame that we had. She worked with us on best practices and helped us hire and onboard our safety Manager.
I would highly recommend her for safety consultation to anyone wanting to achieve a higher benchmark in safety. We highly value her methods and process of developing our health and safety program. At all times she was professional, focused, and helped motivate us to achieve our goals.”

"I highly recommend 'Collective Safety' in delivering Environmental Health and Safety services in any industry."

“…the Surespan Group of Companies has embarked on a new journey towards achieving Zero Harm and re-modeling the Environmental, Health and Safety Systems through adopting a risk- based approach.
A key element of this is to ensure that our Job Hazard Assessments across our projects and manufacturing facilities are current and represent the work we do in the field. This is a colossal undertaking and if not done to the correct standard, or if certain task steps and associated Hazards and Risk are disregarded, can present serious implications in our journey towards Zero Harm.
I hereby express my gratitude (Collective Safety) has done in developing detailed Job Hazards Assessment, their associated Safe Work Practices, and Safe Job Procedures.
(Collective Safety’s) attention to detail, understanding of Canadian legislation and practical understanding of the work the teams perform in the field are most valuable.
I highly recommend Collective Safety in delivering Environmental Health and Safety services across Canada in any industry.
