The Problem: Ontario law requires a Pre-Start Health & Safety Review before operating new or modified racking systems. Without a signed PSR from a qualified engineer, your new installation is illegal to use — and your insurance won't cover incidents.
Why It Matters: MOL inspectors check PSR documentation on every visit. Operating without one triggers immediate stop-work orders, fines up to $100,000 for corporations, and personal liability for directors. Many companies install racking and operate for months before discovering they need a PSR — retroactive compliance is more expensive and doesn't eliminate the liability gap.
Our Solution: Our professional engineers conduct PSR reviews that satisfy Ontario Regulation 851. We assess structural adequacy, seismic compliance, fire separation, load posting, and operational safety. You receive a signed PSR document that clears your system for operation and satisfies MOL, insurance, and landlord requirements.
We review your engineering drawings, specifications, manufacturer documentation, and installation records to verify completeness and accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions Answered
A PSR is required under Ontario Regulation 851 for new racking installations, modifications to existing systems, and relocations. If you've changed your racking layout or added new components, you likely need a PSR.
Only a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) registered in Ontario can sign a PSR. Our team includes multiple licensed P.Eng professionals with racking-specific expertise.
Standard PSR reviews take 5-10 business days from the on-site assessment to signed document delivery. Expedited 5-business-day service is available for time-sensitive projects.
We can perform retroactive PSR reviews for existing installations. However, operating without a PSR creates liability exposure. We recommend scheduling a review as soon as possible to close the compliance gap.
