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 — across the GTA.
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. Workers can't operate the equipment until the PSR is signed — we don't let that be the constraint that delays your launch.
Four steps. No surprises.
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.
P.Eng + Hygienist engagement
Both reviewers engaged under signed engagement. Site visit scheduled jointly so they review concurrently.
Site visit + findings
Both reviewers walk the site. Structural + mechanical + hygiene findings consolidated by our PM into a single report.
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.
What you get, in your hands.
PSR Trigger Assessment
Free as part of any quote. We document whether your project triggers PSR — and if not, we document why in writing.
P.Eng Structural & Mechanical Review
Structural integrity, mechanical hazards, guarding, control systems. Sealed report referencing O. Reg. 851 + applicable CSA standards.
Occupational Hygienist Review
Workplace exposures (chemical, biological, physical), ventilation adequacy, ergonomic factors. Signed report from our Hygienist partner.
Consolidated PSR Report
Single document combining structural + hygiene findings, with worker-readable summary for posting + 10-year audit retention copy.
Aligned with Ontario's current standards.
O. Reg. 851 Section 7
Industrial Establishments regulation. The current PSR trigger framework. Our trigger assessments cross-reference the current version of the regulation.
PEO P.Eng
Reviewer is a member firm of Professional Engineers Ontario. Structural + mechanical review sealed by P.Eng of record.
Occupational Hygienist Partner
Reviewer is a CIH/ROH (Certified Industrial Hygienist / Registered Occupational Hygienist) under signed engagement with 416 Industrial.
Systems we most often work with.
Questions we hear most.
How do I know if my project triggers PSR?
Send us your project scope. We assess against O. Reg. 851 Section 7 + the current triggers list (rack-supported structures, mezzanines, certain conveyors, etc.). Free as part of any quote, usually decidable in 24 hours.
How long does the PSR process take?
From engagement signing to signed report: typically 3-5 weeks. Most of that's reviewer availability — we book the joint site visit as early as possible to compress the timeline.
How much does a PSR cost?
Typical full PSR runs $4,500-9,000 depending on facility size and complexity. P.Eng + Hygienist fees billed at cost as separate line items, our coordination fee fixed. Quote itemized so you can see exactly what each reviewer charges.
Can I operate the equipment before the PSR is signed?
No. O. Reg. 851 Section 7 requires the PSR to be signed before workers operate the equipment. Operating before sign-off creates direct OHSA liability — and under Bill 41, corporate fines now reach $2M.
