Regulatory Compliance

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Safety Audits are offered to members as a means to prepare for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)/Canadian Ministry of Labor inspections. Participating members have lowered incidents of lost-time injuries, lowered workers’ compensation costs and avoided large fines from government regulatory agencies.

Seminars and In-House Safety Training sessions are available with prior scheduling. Please email Gaby Carrasco at gaby@smihq.org to schedule.
