Occupational Health and Safety in Alberta

Commodore Solutions works with companies like yours to establish and manage an effective Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) program.

At Commodore Solutions, we don’t just offer services; we become your dedicated partner. Our mission is to develop, implement, and manage customized occupational testing and health programs that align perfectly with your corporate goals, industry practices, and specific workplace policies.

1. Establishing the Program Foundation

We start by building your program on a solid, job-specific foundation, ensuring maximum accuracy and effectiveness:

Custom Program Development: We work closely with you to understand your specific equipment, environment, work practices, and safety objectives. This collaboration allows us to develop an occupational testing program that isn’t a generic template, but a solution tailored to your company.
Physical Demands Assessments (PDA): We conduct on-site observation and interviews to accurately document the specific physical requirements for every job. The PDA is crucial—it’s the backbone we use to create accurate job descriptions, designate safety-sensitive classifications, and structure effective return-to-work programs.

2. Delivering Comprehensive Occupational Testing

For any organization truly committed to health and safety, due diligence is the cornerstone of its operations. Implementing and consistently applying a policy that includes post-incident breath alcohol testing is a concrete demonstration of this commitment. It signals that your company is taking every reasonable step to identify and mitigate risks that could lead to harm.

In safety-sensitive industries, especially those governed by strict regulations, having a robust and defensible testing protocol is often a matter of regulatory compliance. By standardizing this process, you ensure that your organization meets and exceeds the duty of care required to protect its workers and the public.

Service	Value to Your OHS Program
Drug and Alcohol Testing	We help you maintain a "fit for duty" workforce by providing pre-access, pre-employment, and workplace testing. We offer both urine and oral panels, helping you meet all regulatory and policy requirements.
Fit to Work Testing	Utilizing the data from our PDA, we administer job-specific tests to ensure that all applicants and employees can safely perform the essential, physical tasks of their roles.
Hearing Conservation	Our services include Audiometric Testing (for legislative compliance in high-noise areas) and Quantitative Hearing Protection Device Fit Testing to confirm that your employees' hearing protection is truly effective.
Respiratory Safety	We perform Respirator Fit Testing to ensure proper device fitting, protecting your workers from airborne hazards and satisfying necessary regulations.

Training and Compliance Management

A great OHS program requires an educated team. We support your program with essential training and expert compliance guidance:

Workplace Training: Our online courses—covering Drug & Alcohol Awareness, Workplace Violence, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)—educate both employees and supervisors. This training is vital for fostering a safe, respectful, and compliant workplace culture.
Regulatory Guidance: We act as your compliance partner, helping you navigate complex governmental and industry-regulated testing mandates. Our goal is to ensure you achieve and maintain compliance efficiently, allowing you to focus on your core business.

By integrating these services, we help you mitigate risk, increase profitability, and achieve your overall corporate health and safety goals.
