PSR coordination, OHSA Section 7.

Pre-Start Health & Safety Reviews on racking systems that trigger PSR requirements. We coordinate the P.Eng + the Hygienist, you get one signed report.

What this service is

PSR coordination, P.Eng + Hygienist signed.

A Pre-Start Health and Safety Review (PSR) is required under Ontario Regulation 851 Section 7 before certain industrial equipment goes into service. Racking-related triggers include rack-supported structures, mezzanines, and certain conveyors integrated with racking.

PSR isn't a single sign-off — it's a coordinated review involving a P.Eng (structural + mechanical) and an Occupational Hygienist (workplace exposures, ventilation, ergonomics). Most general contractors don't run this coordination well. We do.

Our PSR scope: we identify whether your project triggers PSR, engage our P.Eng + Hygienist partners under signed engagement, coordinate the joint site visit, compile findings, and deliver the consolidated PSR report ready to file with your records. Worker can't operate the equipment until the PSR is signed — we don't let that be the constraint that delays your launch.

Process

Four steps. No surprises.

01

Trigger assessment

We assess whether your project triggers PSR under O. Reg. 851 Section 7. Free as part of any quote — usually decidable in 24 hours.

02

P.Eng + Hygienist engagement

Both reviewers engaged under signed engagement. Site visit scheduled jointly so they review concurrently.

03

Site visit + findings

Both reviewers walk the site. Structural + mechanical + hygiene findings consolidated by our PM into a single report.

04

Signed PSR delivery

Final signed report delivered. You file with your records + post worker-readable summary. We retain a copy for 10-year audit chain.
