Health and Safety Gap Assessment
The Problem We Solve: Identify compliance gaps. Reduce risk. Build a healthier & safer workplace.
Even workplaces that manage health and safety extremely well can struggle to keep up with evolving regulations, internal changes, and shifting operational risks.
Without a clear understanding of how your company is performing today, it’s easy to overlook critical gaps — until they lead to compliance issues or health and safety incidents.
Our Health and Safety Gap Assessment gives you a clear, expert evaluation of your current program — before an incident or Ministry inspection forces your hand.

Our Process: Three Phases to OHS Confidence
Phase 1: Program and Records Review
We begin by meeting with your team to understand your operations, organizational structure, and safety goals. We conduct a detailed review of:
- Health and safety manuals
- WSIB claims history
- Enforcement orders
- Training documentation
- Risk assessments and exposure data
- Internal inspection and incident reports
- Supervisor and worker responsibilities
- Alignment with OHSA, CSA standards, COR/ISO requirements
- Plus more.
Phase 2: On-Site Observation
We conduct a workplace visit to observe day-to-day practices, worker interactions, and the work environment that can influence health and safety performance. During our visit, we assess:
- The work environment
- Equipment and tools used
- Materials used in the work
- The process from start to finish
- The people involved in the work
- Control measures in action (or lack thereof)
These observations ensure your gap assessment reflects the realities of your workplace.
Phase 3: Roadmap for OHS Success
We analyze findings and compare them to legal requirements in the Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations, as well as best practices outlined in CSA and other standards.
You gain clarity on how to enhance health and safety practices that reduce risk and protect people. You receive:
- A structured gap analysis
- Key findings explained in plain language
- Prioritized, actionable recommendations
- Optional support to help implement change
