Ketek provides safety-related expertise to a wide variety of clients. We believe that, through education, training, and encouragement, unplanned events can be prevented. By working with clients and their employees, we can help integrate a strong safety culture into their business and ensure they exceed Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws and regulations. Our experienced and knowledgeable team of professionals seeks to establish long-term, collaborative relationships with our clients. We strive to deliver quality service, acting with integrity in all aspects of our work.
The Role of the Prime Contractor
Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requires that every worksite with two or more contractors performing work has a Prime Contractor appointed by the Owner. If there is no designation of a Prime Contractor or there is a conflict for the Prime Contractor the Owner is deemed legally responsible for the health and safety of the worksite.
In 2018, OHS was amended to more specifically reflect individual worksite responsibilities and now clearly spells out the duties of the Prime Contractor, giving better clarity to this important and often complex safety role.
From a risk standpoint, proper knowledge and execution of the Prime Contractor role is vital. Having a dedicated and highly qualified team is an investment in peace of mind for risk averse property owners and land developers.
Our team brings a solid and mature construction safety background with strong inspection and compliance knowledge and the ability to provide strong communication lines with all stakeholders. A well-rounded knowledge of a broad range of regulatory requirements gives added value to the role and strengthens the protection of client interests. Ketek advisors can add an important component to your professional development team by mitigating risk and helping to avoid costly downtime and avoidable workplace injuries. At Ketek, we take pride in building teams and cultures that reflect well on our clients and make your projects the best, safest work environments possible.
