How do federal and provincial safety regulations interact in Ottawa?

Ottawa's unique position as Canada's capital creates complex regulatory requirements where federal employees follow the Canada Labour Code while provincially regulated employers follow Ontario's OHSA. Many Ottawa organizations have both federal and provincial employees, requiring dual compliance expertise. Our team specializes in navigating these overlapping jurisdictions, Official Languages Act requirements, and security clearance protocols specific to government operations in the National Capital Region.

What service areas do you cover throughout the National Capital Region?

From our Ottawa base, we serve the entire National Capital Region including Ottawa, Gatineau, Kanata, Nepean, Orleans, Vanier, Hull, and surrounding communities. We provide bilingual on-site services for federal departments, crown corporations, technology companies, research facilities, and private sector government contractors. Our team understands the unique requirements of working in government environments, security protocols, and the bilingual service requirements of federal institutions.

Do your consultants have government security clearances for sensitive environments?

Yes, several of our senior Ottawa consultants maintain current government security clearances including reliability, secret, and top-secret levels. We understand government security protocols, classified environment requirements, and can work within secure facilities when required. Our clearance holders have extensive experience providing safety consulting services for federal departments, defense contractors, intelligence agencies, and other sensitive government operations throughout the National Capital Region.
