Good afternoon.

My name Is Sylvain Grenier.


I’ve been working in the machinery maintenance field for many years in Quebec, New Brunswick and Ontario. Most of the companies that I’ve worked for have let me go after I’ve reorganized the work place and as soon as I’ve made machinery assessment reports indicating major safety or non compliance issues.

I’ve seen many work related accidents due to employers (management) negligence and I strongly believe that those accidents could have been avoided by conducting and/or implementing proper safety management information and training sessions.

Most employers are not aware or just don t want to be aware of safety issues for the reason that it would affect their production and also the cost of the operation. Therefore employer s (management) are taking shortcuts in regards to safety.

I am wondering what are the requirements needed in order to become a Health and Safety Inspector or Health and Safety Consultant in Ontario.


Would you please either send me any information or links or contact me at the number below in regards to the matter
and I also would appreciate if you can answer a few question on the sheet below.

Thank you for your professional assistance.
