ATLANTIC CANADA Atlantic Safety Centre Inc. (ASC) is a longstanding member of the Newfoundland and Labrador business and industrial community. Having provided consulting services to some of the province’s larger employers, including the recent Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, the team applies its considerable experience in all as- pects of the field of occupational health, safety and security for a diversity of clients, the company says. The firm has Canadian Registered Safety Profes- sionals (CRSP) on staff with accompanying team members having a wide range of business, industrial, and academic experience/expertise. Collectively, the firm’s safety professionals have more than 100 years of experience in occupational health and safety and all team members are versed in occupational health and safety laws and regulations (provincial/federal). ASC provides clients with effective, professional advice and strategies with training and consulting that can increase productivity, and proactively plan and ad- dress occupational health and safety requirements. President and COO Mona Saunders says the com- pany regularly revises safety manuals for companies who are based out of the province and have been awarded contract(s) in Newfoundland to ensure they are compliant with Newfoundland and Labrador’s oc- cupational health and safety regulations. ASC provides, training, tool box talks and conducts daily or weekly site inspections in line with client re- quirements. “We report back to the client after each visit about both the bad and the good we find on the worksite,” Saunders said. “If we find they’re doing something well, we want to encourage it to continue so we let them know.” “Sometimes hiring a safety consultant is a condi- tion of work, other times just an automatic effort by a company who understands how critical an issue safety is.” Saunders says the company also provides training in many areas including fall protection, confined space entry, scissors lift, forklift, occupational health and safety committees, the transportation of danger- ous goods and various other safety courses. Atlantic Safety Center Inc. is to provide its clients with professional advice and strategies through the provision of training and consulting services to help employers and employees increase productivity, pro-actively plan for and effectively address their occupational health, safety and wellness needs.
