Under the OHS Act, Regulation and Code, employers are required to protect the health and safety of their workers and other workers at the worksite. Often, employers rely upon themselves or their employees to ensure the worksite is healthy and safe. In some situations, an employer may choose to hire a consultant to assist them, such as when special expertise would be beneficial in addressing an issue that is complex or technical in nature.

Employers who choose to enlist the services of a consultant continue to carry the obligation of ensuring the health and safety of their workers and other workers present at their work sites. Therefore, it is important to do a proper job of selecting a consultant who is qualified to provide the necessary services.

The following guide may assist you in selecting an OHS consultant:

Clearly identify your needs and expectations for the consultant, especially any timelines/requirements that may be identified in your OHS Compliance Orders.
Examine the qualifications of more than one consultant if possible. Ask for relevant certifications, education, training, experience and references. Satisfy yourself that the consultant is qualified to provide the service needed.
You may invite the consultant(s) to come to your business for a meeting to discuss your needs, services offered, scope of work and the potential cost or fee structure. Having the consultant visit your work site may enable you to obtain a more reasonable cost estimate.
Compare consultants to one other and select the best one based on their ability to meet your needs.
