In short

ISO 45001 certification in Calgary at a glance

In Calgary, safety is often the first line of a contractor's pre-bid paperwork. Operators headquartered in the city, Calgary Economic Development counts more than 70 major energy companies, review contractors' incident histories and management systems before work begins, and the same scrutiny falls on trucking and warehouse businesses around the YYC Global Logistics Park and the east-side districts. ISO 45001 is the occupational health and safety management system standard: accountable leaders, worker consultation and participation, hazard identification, evaluation of legal duties, incident investigation and regular audit and review. Sterling's Toronto office serves Calgary employers on site, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate. Provincial safety law continues to apply.

Requirements

What ISO 45001 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 45001 requires a company to prove six things about keeping its people safe and healthy at work.

Leadership takes responsibility for safetyTop management is accountable for preventing work-related injury and ill health, and sets a policy and objectives to do so.
Workers have a real sayWorkers and their representatives are consulted and take part in decisions on hazards, controls, incidents and the system itself.
You know the hazards and the risksHazards are identified on an ongoing basis, risks are assessed, and health and safety legal requirements are known and met.
Controls follow the right orderRisks are reduced using the hierarchy of controls, from eliminating the hazard down to protective equipment, including for contractors.
You are prepared for emergenciesEmergency situations are identified, response plans are in place, people are trained and drills are carried out.
Incidents lead to learningIncidents and nonconformities are investigated, causes are corrected, and performance is monitored, audited and reviewed.

ISO 45001 in Calgary: questions clients ask

Why is ISO 45001 so common in Calgary contractor prequalification?

Because head-office operators screen contractors on safety systems and incident history before awarding field work, and ISO 45001 is a recognised way to show a management system exists. Operators also use their own prequalification schemes, so read each form to see which evidence they accept.

Does ISO 45001 change a Calgary employer's legal duties?

No. Legal duties on employers apply in any case, and certification neither adds nor removes them. ISO 45001 is a management system for meeting them reliably, through hazard identification, worker participation, legal evaluation and investigation. Confirm statutory requirements with the provincial authority or your counsel.
