Free Safety Walkthrough
Fix Safety Issues Before They Cost You
Workplace safety walkthroughs are proactive inspections designed to identify hazards, compliance gaps, and operational risks before they become costly problems.
During a walkthrough, SHIELD will review your facility, equipment, and work practices against current Ministry of Labour priorities and standards.
The goal is to provide you with a clear snapshot of where your workplace stands, highlight issues that inspectors are targeting, and recommend practical steps to strengthen safety and compliance.
