In short

ISO 45001 certification in Edmonton at a glance

The work behind Edmonton's prosperity is physical. Alberta's Industrial Heartland covers 582 square kilometres of industrial-zoned land where contractors do hot work, confined-space entry, heavy lifting and turnaround maintenance, and the region's 16 rail intermodal and storage facilities and airport cargo village keep trucks, forklifts and trains in constant motion. Operators and principals therefore prequalify on safety before work begins. ISO 45001 is the management system standard behind a credible answer: accountable leaders, worker consultation and participation, hazard identification, evaluation of legal duties, incident investigation, internal audit and management review. Provincial safety law applies regardless. Sterling's Toronto office serves Edmonton employers on site; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

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 Edmonton: questions clients ask

Why is ISO 45001 prominent in Edmonton contractor prequalification?

Because work in the Industrial Heartland involves high-hazard tasks, and operators screen contractors on safety performance and management systems before awarding work. ISO 45001 is a recognised way to show a system exists, though some operators use their own schemes. Read each prequalification form to see what evidence they accept.

Does ISO 45001 replace Alberta's safety law for an Edmonton employer?

Certification changes nothing about the employer's statutory duties, which continue as before. The standard is a management system for meeting such duties reliably, built on hazard identification, legal evaluation, worker participation and incident investigation. Alberta's occupational health and safety requirements should be confirmed with the authority or your counsel.
