Work Safety Due Diligence

Health and safety due diligence assessment that adheres to best practices

As it relates to workplace health and safety, a due diligence program refers to the precautionary steps a company takes to prevent incidents that could harm employees. When done properly, due diligence not only demonstrates that an organization has taken reasonable care to protect human health and safety, but also reduces incidents, thereby boosting in greater productivity and performance.
Our OHS due diligence services help you design, implement and refine your due diligence program in a way that reflects the realities of your organization. While basic elements such as well-defined OHS practices and procedures, documentation, education and monitoring must be included, we work with you to customize these components to suit your needs.
