Location: Regina, Saskatchewan (Regional Hub) | Scope: National (Canada-wide)
Project Status: Completed
Compliance Framework: CSA Z1220-17 & Provincial OHS Jurisdictions (SK, AB, ON, BC, etc.)
For this major infrastructure project, ADE Safety Consulting delivered a comprehensive On-Site Medical & Occupational Health Solution designed to scale across Canadian jurisdictions. While centered in Regina, our medical framework was engineered to meet the stringent, varying requirements of provincial Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) acts from coast to coast.
Advanced Multi-Tiered Medical Staffing
We deployed a high-capability medical team to manage the complex risk profile of a large-scale construction environment. Our staffing model ensured that the level of care exceeded minimum provincial standards:
- Primary Care Paramedic (PCP): Provided advanced clinical oversight across the site. Our PCPs are trained for high-acuity interventions, including cardiac monitoring and advanced airway management, ensuring “Golden Hour” care is initiated immediately on-site.
- Licensed Emergency Medical Responder (EMR): Served as the frontline response, specialized in rapid trauma assessment and stabilization in rugged, industrial environments.
- Class B First Aid Category: Provided high-level first aid coverage as defined by the CSA Z1220-17 standard, which is the benchmark for workplace first aid across Canada. This ensured a high ratio of competent responders to the total workforce.
National Compliance & Strategy
Managing safety on a Canadian project requires navigating a patchwork of provincial regulations. ADE Safety Consulting streamlined this through a unified compliance strategy:
- CSA Z1220-17 Alignment: We utilized the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) framework to standardize first aid kits, supplies, and risk assessments, ensuring seamless compliance whether the project moved across provincial lines.
- Inter-Provincial Mobility: Our personnel and equipment were mobilized to meet specific local mandates, such as Saskatchewan OHS Part 5 or Alberta OHS Part 11, ensuring no regulatory gaps during project transitions.
- Emergency Medical Logistics: Established robust Medical Emergency Response Plans (MERPs) that integrated with local EMS and STARS/Air Ambulance services for remote or high-priority extractions.
