Many small and medium-sized Canadian employers assume they must hire a full-time health and safety manager to comply with occupational health and safety legislation. In reality, what employers require is not necessarily a dedicated employee, but an effective health and safety management system that reflects their workplace hazards, legal obligations, and operational risks.
For many organizations with fewer than 100 employees, outsourcing health and safety management provides access to experienced professionals without the cost of maintaining a full-time internal department. This allows business owners to receive expert guidance, regulatory support, worker training, and ongoing compliance assistance while remaining focused on running their business.
OMHAS designs, implements, and maintains customized safety infrastructure tailored to each client’s operations. Rather than delivering generic manuals, we build practical management systems that support legal compliance, due diligence, and continuous improvement.
Many organizations begin managing health and safety internally but eventually discover that keeping programs current, training workers, monitoring compliance, and responding to changing legislation requires more time and expertise than their existing resources can provide.
Common indicators that it may be time to outsource include rapid business growth, expanding into multiple locations, increasing regulatory obligations, contractor prequalification requirements, or difficulty maintaining documentation and training records.
Outsourcing health and safety management does not transfer an employer’s legal responsibilities. Instead, it provides the structure, expertise, and ongoing support needed to help employers fulfill those responsibilities effectively. OMHAS works alongside your leadership team to build and maintain customized safety infrastructure that evolves as your business grows.

The answer depends on the size and complexity of the organization.
For many small and medium-sized employers, outsourced health and safety management can perform many of the functions traditionally assigned to an internal safety coordinator, including program development, legislative monitoring, documentation management, audits, training coordination, and compliance support.
Larger organizations often benefit from combining internal leadership with outsourced expertise. In this model, internal personnel oversee daily workplace activities while OMHAS maintains the organization’s safety infrastructure, provides regulatory updates, conducts independent audits, and supports continuous improvement.
The objective is not to replace internal leadership, but to strengthen it with specialized knowledge and ongoing technical support.
Any organization with occupational health and safety responsibilities can benefit from outsourced health and safety management.
OMHAS supports organizations across Canada in industries including manufacturing, construction, warehousing, transportation, logistics, property management, maintenance services, security, and other operational environments where workplace hazards must be actively managed.
Every organization faces unique operational risks. For that reason, OMHAS does not rely on generic safety manuals or pre-written templates. Each safety infrastructure is custom-engineered to reflect the client’s operations, hazards, applicable legislation, and business objectives.
The cost of outsourced health and safety management varies depending on the size of the organization, industry, operational complexity, number of employees, locations, and regulatory requirements.
Unlike template providers, OMHAS develops customized health and safety infrastructure designed specifically for each client. Initial implementation typically includes program development, policies, procedures, forms, implementation planning, and workforce training.
Many organizations choose ongoing monthly maintenance to ensure their safety management system remains current with legislative changes, workplace modifications, regulatory developments, and operational growth. For many employers, outsourcing provides access to an experienced health and safety department at a significantly lower cost than hiring, training, and retaining a full-time internal team.
Many employers believe that having a written safety manual is enough to demonstrate compliance. In reality, due diligence requires much more than documentation. It requires employers to demonstrate that they took every reasonable precaution, in the circumstances, to protect workers and prevent workplace incidents.
Canadian occupational health and safety legislation generally establishes strict liability offences. Once an offence has been established, an employer may avoid liability by demonstrating that reasonable precautions were taken to prevent the contravention.
A legally defensible safety management system includes hazard identification, written procedures, worker training, competent supervision, workplace inspections, corrective actions, and accurate documentation demonstrating that the system is actively implemented and maintained.
Generic safety manuals often appear comprehensive but rarely reflect the actual hazards, equipment, operations, and responsibilities within a specific workplace.
Following an incident, inspectors and courts evaluate whether the employer’s documented procedures accurately reflected workplace operations and whether those procedures were consistently implemented and enforced. A generic template that employees neither follow nor understand may become evidence that the employer failed to implement an effective safety management system.
OMHAS develops customized safety infrastructure engineered specifically for each organization so that written procedures align with actual workplace practices, hazards, and legal requirements.
Health and safety responsibilities extend beyond frontline supervisors. Corporate directors and officers play an important role in ensuring their organizations establish and maintain effective occupational health and safety management systems.
Leadership is responsible for allocating appropriate resources, establishing corporate safety expectations, monitoring organizational performance, and ensuring that health and safety receives ongoing attention at every level of the organization.
An effective safety infrastructure provides executives with the information needed to monitor compliance, identify emerging risks, and support continuous improvement throughout the organization.
Occupational health and safety compliance is not a one time project. It requires continuous review, updating, monitoring, and improvement as workplaces, equipment, legislation, and operations change.
During inspections or investigations, regulators frequently examine whether an organization’s programs accurately reflect current workplace conditions. Outdated procedures, incomplete records, expired training, or undocumented corrective actions may weaken an employer’s ability to demonstrate due diligence.
OMHAS provides ongoing maintenance services designed to keep safety infrastructure current, accurate, and aligned with changing operational and regulatory requirements.
No.
An employee’s experience, trade certification, or years of service does not remove an employer’s legal responsibility to provide information, instruction, supervision, and appropriate workplace controls.
Experienced workers must still receive orientation specific to their employer’s workplace, understand company procedures, follow established safe work practices, and receive appropriate supervision.
A legally defensible safety management system demonstrates that every worker, regardless of experience, has been trained, monitored, and provided with the resources necessary to perform work safely. Continuous verification, not assumptions based on experience, forms the foundation of due diligence.
Many employers believe that a health and safety management system is simply a collection of policies stored in a binder or on a computer. In reality, a health and safety management system is a structured framework that integrates policies, procedures, training, inspections, hazard assessments, incident investigations, corrective actions, and management oversight into the daily operation of an organization.
An effective health and safety management system establishes clear responsibilities at every level of the organization, from senior leadership to frontline workers. It provides the processes needed to identify hazards, control risks, verify compliance, and continually improve workplace safety through regular monitoring and review.
OMHAS develops customized safety infrastructure that transforms health and safety from a collection of documents into an operational management system designed to support legal compliance, due diligence, and long term organizational success.
A safety program is one component of a much larger health and safety management system. Individual programs address specific workplace hazards or activities, such as lockout/tagout, fall protection, confined spaces, emergency response, or workplace inspections.
A health and safety management system brings all of those individual programs together into one coordinated framework. It establishes how responsibilities are assigned, how training is delivered, how hazards are identified, how incidents are investigated, how corrective actions are tracked, and how management measures ongoing performance.
OMHAS develops modular safety infrastructure consisting of customized programs that work together as one integrated management system, ensuring every component supports the overall safety objectives of the organization.
There is no fixed number of health and safety programs that applies to every employer. The required programs depend entirely on the organization’s operations, workplace hazards, equipment, industry, and applicable legislation.
For example, an office environment will require significantly fewer programs than a manufacturing facility operating forklifts, overhead cranes, confined spaces, hazardous chemicals, and energized equipment.
OMHAS does not deliver standardized document packages. Instead, each client’s safety infrastructure is custom-engineered by selecting only the programs that apply to their operations. This produces a practical management system that reflects actual workplace risks rather than unnecessary documentation.
A health and safety management system should be reviewed whenever significant workplace changes occur and at regular intervals throughout the year.
Changes such as new equipment, modified production processes, organizational growth, legislative updates, workplace incidents, or identified hazards may all require revisions to existing procedures, training, and documentation.
Because occupational health and safety is constantly evolving, OMHAS provides ongoing maintenance services that help organizations keep their safety infrastructure current, accurate, and aligned with changing workplace conditions and regulatory requirements. Continuous maintenance helps ensure the system remains both practical and legally defensible.
Yes. Organizations operating in more than one province can implement a single health and safety management system that incorporates province specific legal requirements while maintaining one consistent corporate framework.
Although occupational health and safety legislation differs between provinces, many core management principles remain consistent, including hazard identification, worker training, incident reporting, workplace inspections, and continuous improvement.
OMHAS develops safety infrastructure that establishes one unified corporate management system while incorporating the jurisdiction specific legislative requirements applicable to each operating location. This approach promotes consistency across the organization while supporting compliance with the laws governing each province in which the employer operates.
Many workplace injuries occur not because hazards were unknown, but because individual job tasks were never systematically evaluated. A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a structured process that breaks a job into individual steps, identifies the hazards associated with each step, evaluates the level of risk, and establishes appropriate control measures before work begins.
A properly completed JHA helps employers identify physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and environmental hazards before they result in injuries or property damage. It also provides workers and supervisors with clear guidance for performing work safely and consistently.
OMHAS develops customized Job Hazard Analyses that reflect each client’s actual equipment, workplace processes, and operational hazards. Rather than relying on generic templates, every JHA is designed to support practical implementation, worker training, and legal due diligence.
Hazards change as workplaces evolve. Equipment wears, production methods change, housekeeping deteriorates, and new risks emerge over time. Regular workplace inspections help identify these hazards before they contribute to incidents or regulatory violations.
Effective workplace inspections are more than simple checklists. They provide an opportunity to verify that safe work practices are being followed, equipment remains in good condition, corrective actions have been completed, and workplace conditions continue to meet organizational standards.
OMHAS incorporates scheduled workplace inspections into every safety management system, providing organizations with documented evidence that hazards are actively monitored and addressed as part of their ongoing safety infrastructure.
Every workplace contains hazards, but not every hazard presents the same level of risk. A workplace risk assessment evaluates both the likelihood of an incident occurring and the potential severity of its consequences so that organizations can prioritize their control efforts appropriately.
Risk assessments help employers determine which hazards require immediate attention, which controls are most effective, and where resources should be focused to achieve the greatest reduction in workplace risk.
OMHAS integrates formal risk assessments throughout its safety infrastructure, ensuring that hazard control decisions are based on systematic evaluation rather than assumptions or past experience.
Every workplace incident, near miss, or occupational illness provides valuable information about weaknesses within a safety management system. Investigating these events helps organizations identify root causes, improve existing controls, and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
An effective investigation looks beyond the immediate event to examine contributing factors such as equipment, procedures, supervision, training, workplace conditions, and organizational processes. The objective is not to assign blame but to understand why the incident occurred and what improvements are necessary.
OMHAS develops structured incident reporting and investigation procedures that help organizations document events consistently, identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and strengthen their overall safety infrastructure.
