Casey Brown Services delivers specialized safety solutions including OSHA compliance audits, COR certification across Canada, comprehensive HAZMAT management, and professional incident investigation services. Trusted by industry leaders in oil & gas, construction, and mining.
Our OSHA compliance audits are comprehensive evaluations of your workplace safety programs, policies, and practices against Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. We conduct thorough document reviews, site inspections, and employee interviews to assess your current compliance status.
Non-compliance with OSHA regulations can result in significant fines, legal liability, and most importantly, increased risk of workplace injuries and fatalities. Regular OSHA compliance audits help organizations identify gaps before they become violations, demonstrate due diligence, and create a culture of safety excellence. For organizations operating in the United States or with US-based operations, maintaining OSHA compliance is not just a legal obligation—it's a business imperative that protects your workforce and your bottom line.
Our certified safety consultants begin with a comprehensive gap analysis of your existing safety management system. We review your written programs, training records, hazard communication protocols, and injury logs against applicable OSHA standards (including 29 CFR 1910 for general industry and 29 CFR 1926 for construction). Our on-site assessments include facility walkthroughs to identify physical hazards, unsafe conditions, and potential violations. We conclude with a detailed report outlining findings, prioritized recommendations, and a corrective action roadmap.
We provide OSHA compliance audit services across a wide range of industries including construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, and data centers. Our consultants have specialized expertise in high-hazard industries and understand the unique challenges faced by each sector.
OSHA violations can cost $16,000+ per violation, with catastrophic incidents reaching $180,000+. Proactive audits prevent costly citations, avoid production shutdowns, and most importantly, protect lives. Organizations with strong compliance programs reduce injury rates by 30-50%.
Certificate of Recognition (COR) is an occupational health and safety accreditation that validates an employer's safety management system meets established standards. In Canada, COR certification demonstrates to clients, regulators, and stakeholders that your organization has a fully implemented and effective health and safety program. Our COR certification support services guide organizations through every stage of the process—from initial gap analysis to maintaining certification.
COR certification is often a prerequisite for bidding on major projects, particularly in Alberta, British Columbia, and across Western Canada. Many prime contractors and owners require subcontractors to maintain valid COR certification. Beyond compliance, COR-certified organizations typically experience lower injury rates, reduced WCB premiums, and enhanced reputation within their industry. For organizations operating in Canada's oil & gas, construction, and mining sectors, COR certification is an essential credential that opens doors to new opportunities.
Our certified COR auditors and safety professionals provide end-to-end support:
We work with organizations across all industries requiring COR certification, with specialized expertise in oil & gas, construction, transportation, manufacturing, and mining. Our consultants understand the specific requirements for different certifying partners including Energy Safety Canada, Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA), and provincial bodies across Canada.
COR certification unlocks access to major contracts—many project owners automatically exclude non-certified bidders. Organizations achieve ROI through premium savings (up to 20% on WCB), exclusive bid opportunities, and reduced incident costs by 25-35%.
Our HAZMAT management services provide comprehensive solutions for the safe handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous materials. We help organizations develop and implement hazardous materials management programs that comply with WHMIS, TDG (Transportation of Dangerous Goods), and applicable environmental regulations. Our services include hazard assessments, chemical inventory management, safety data sheet (SDS) systems, and specialized training.
Improper management of hazardous materials can lead to serious consequences including workplace injuries, environmental contamination, regulatory fines, and reputational damage. Organizations handling hazardous substances face complex regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions. Our HAZMAT management services help ensure your organization meets all compliance obligations while protecting workers, the environment, and your business operations. In industries such as oil & gas, manufacturing, and mining, effective HAZMAT management is essential for operational continuity and regulatory approval.
We provide HAZMAT management services across a broad range of sectors including oil & gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), chemical manufacturing, mining and mineral processing, construction, laboratories and research facilities, and data centers.
A single chemical spill can cost $100,000+ in cleanup and fines. Non-compliance with WHMIS/TDG regulations leads to substantial penalties and operational shutdowns. Proper HAZMAT management prevents injuries, protects environmental assets, and ensures continuous operations.
Our incident investigation services provide rapid, professional response following workplace incidents, near-misses, or safety events. Our certified investigators conduct thorough, systematic investigations to identify root causes—not just immediate factors—and develop actionable corrective and preventive measures. We document findings in comprehensive reports suitable for regulatory submissions, insurance purposes, and internal learning.
Effective incident investigation is critical for preventing recurrence, meeting regulatory requirements, and protecting your organization from liability. Superficial investigations that only identify immediate causes often fail to address underlying system failures, allowing similar incidents to occur. Our systematic approach helps organizations learn from events, strengthen safety systems, and demonstrate regulatory due diligence. In high-risk industries, professional incident investigation is not just best practice—it's an operational necessity.
Our investigators have experience with a wide range of incidents including serious injuries and fatalities, fires and explosions, chemical releases and spills, equipment failures, motor vehicle incidents, and near-miss events with high potential for harm.
A serious workplace fatality can cost an organization $1M+ in liability, downtime, and reputational damage. Professional investigations prevent 60-80% of repeat incidents by addressing system failures rather than just symptoms. Smart organizations investigate proactively.
Our emergency response services provide immediate, expert support during critical workplace incidents and safety emergencies. Our trained emergency response team is available 24/7 to coordinate rapid deployment, incident containment, hazard mitigation, and initial crisis management. We work alongside your team and emergency services to stabilize situations, protect personnel and assets, and establish protocols for recovery and investigation.
The first hours following a critical incident are crucial for preventing escalation, protecting lives, and minimizing damage. Organizations without trained emergency response capabilities face increased risk of injury expansion, environmental contamination, and operational disruption. Professional emergency response coordination ensures that incidents are contained effectively, that all appropriate response protocols are activated, and that your organization is positioned to recover quickly while meeting regulatory notification requirements.
Our emergency response team has experience managing fires and explosions, chemical spills and releases, serious injuries and medical emergencies, equipment failures and structural incidents, confined space emergencies, and multi-casualty incidents. We work across high-hazard industries including oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, and mining.
Delays in emergency response can turn minor incidents into catastrophic events. Organizations with trained emergency response teams reduce incident severity by 40-60% and recovery time by 50-70%. Professional response coordination saves lives and protects your operational assets.
