info@pacificsafety.caIt’s been a busy year at Pacific Safety
Date: 10th October 2018
We’ve been hard at work and want to share some exciting news with our PacSaf community.
This year marked our first decade in operations. We had our 10-year anniversary on July 19th. For most of us, celebrating a birthday provides a good opportunity for reflection and this was no exception. Pacific Safety is a much different company from when it was just me working away in the YVR basement. We have been incredibly fortunate to work with many great Health and Safety professionals and exceptional, progressive clients who allow us to push leading OHS practices.
Looking forward, we know that the next decade will require us to be more innovative and leading in all aspects of our business. As such we are investing heavily in our people and our processes, including:
Growing our team: Over the past year, several amazing new members have joined the team, bringing with them specialties in Occupational Health and Safety, Occupational Hygiene and Quality Management Systems. Head over to our website to learn more about our growing team, and we’ll introduce them to you here over the coming months. This month we’re excited to profile our new Consulting Services Manager, Mike Pearson. You can read more about Mike in the highlights section below.
ISO Certifications: ISO Certification represents the gold standard for business operations, quality assurance and management systems. We have committed to aligning our business practises with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. See the highlights below for more information about these two important initiatives.
Expanding our geographical presence: We continue to expand our presence throughout Western Canada as well as taking on new client partners with operations in the USA and Europe.
Increasing our Industrial Hygiene competencies and services: In response to your requests, we have a dedicated Industrial Occupational Hygienist on staff to support you with the development of exposure control plans, confined space assessments, occupational exposure monitoring, asbestos and lead sampling, as well as a host of other hygiene related services.
Here are just a few highlights of our growth
Introducing Mike Pearson
We are excited to announce that Mike Pearson has been recruited and named our Manager of Consulting Services. Mike was born and raised in Vancouver. He is an OHS leader with over 20 years of experience and a Canadian registered Safety Professional (CRSP) with the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP). His passion for protecting others from harm is born from his long career as warehouse worker and his family history of volunteering.
On the road to ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certification
To ensure we continue to deliver the high level of service and quality our clients are accustomed to we are aligning our business operations and services with ISO Standards. We have started the process of developing an internal Quality Management System that will be in line with ISO 9001:2015. Sarah Slater has been promoted to our Lead QMS Coordinator.
ISO 45001:2018 Auditing
We are committed to helping clients implement Safety Management Systems that are in line with this global Health & Safety management standard. We were excited to have had the opportunity to complete an ISO 45001:2018 preparation audit for a client earlier this year and our team continues to build competencies and work towards lead auditor certification.
