  SDS Consulting Corporation

  Apr 2022 - now

  Occupational Health and Safety Consultant

  While available through Safety and Communications Training / Stop Thing Go I am also currently consulting with SDS (Formerly S.E.A.L), a small family run company who largely specialize in HAZOP's and also maintain HSE / CoR services for small to mid size companies, mainly in construction. Recent projects include building the framework for Heritage Park's HSEMS (and achieving their first CoR) and onsite safety oversight for Phase 1 of pipe/utilities relocation connected to the City of Calgary's Green Line Project. Phase 2 commences end of April 2024. As always Injury Prevention techniques play a large part in what I do. One client, a commercial/industrial glazier, realized more than a 50% reduction in WCB premiums after a year of p/t safety services. Nice to prove that safety can indeed "pay". Show less
