York Region News: Press Release
YORK REGION, ON – FEB 2026 – A leading Toronto-based occupational health and safety consulting firm is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026 with the opening of a new office in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. The expansion strengthens the firm’s capacity to support organizations across the province with comprehensive safety management system development, implementation, and compliance support.
For a decade, the company has specialized in building and implementing robust COR 2020 and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management systems that help employers demonstrate due diligence, improve safety performance, and gain a competitive advantage in bidding on major projects. The firm’s consultants work closely with construction, industrial, and service-sector clients to align policies, procedures, and records with Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and its various Regulations.
“Reaching 10 years is a significant milestone and opening our Ottawa office last week reflects ongoing demand for practical, audit-ready health and safety solutions across Eastern Ontario,” said Dawn Malcolm, the General Manager at the Health and Safety Advisors. “Organizations are looking for partners who understand COR 2020, ISO 45001, and the OHSA, and who can translate those requirements into workable programs on the ground.”
The new Ottawa office will offer the same suite of services currently available from the Toronto location, including COR 2020 gap assessments and implementation support, ISO 45001 system design and internal audits, custom health and safety program development, and compliance reviews against the Occupational Health and Safety Act and sector-specific regulations. Clients will also benefit from on-site and virtual training, documentation support, and preparation for external certification or accreditation audits.
With this expansion, the firm is positioned to better serve employers operating across multiple regions of Ontario, helping them standardize their health and safety management systems while responding to site-specific risks and regulatory expectations.
