Fractional HSE Management Services
You're Not Big Enough For A Full-Time Safety Manager, But You're Too Big To Wing It Anymore
You've got COR deadlines, toolbox talks, audits, incidents, training, and zero time.
Safety's technically someone's job, but it's no one's focus.
- Ops is stretched
- Admin's buried
- And your team is relying on a binder from 2018
That's where we come in.
We act as your safety department, not your consultant. Fractional, embedded, and fully accountable. You get consistent leadership, better compliance, and fewer fire drills.

How It Works
A Safety Program That Fits Your Company Like It's In-House, Because It Kind Of Is
We keep it simple, fast, and focused on your business:
Kickoff & Program Review
We get to know your operation. What's working, what's missing, and where the risks live. You'll receive a focused roadmap, not a binder of generic recommendations.
We Become Your Safety Lead
You're assigned a dedicated HSE coordinator and admin who acts as your internal team. We take over ownership of the program; coordinating, executing, and communicating every step of the way.
Ongoing Execution & Reporting
From field visits to executive updates, we keep your team aligned and your compliance tight. You'll always know where things stand, with monthly metrics, not mysteries.

Fractional HSE Management FAQs
Fractional HSE means you get the right amount of safety support, whether that's a fraction of a role, or parts of several roles, without hiring a full internal team.
Some companies can't justify a full-time safety manager. Others have a strong field team but no one handling compliance or training behind the scenes. That's where we come in. Our fractional model gives you access to safety managers, advisors, coordinators, and admins - as needed, when needed - so you're covered at every level, without carrying full-time overhead.
We act as your in-house, out-of-house safety department: integrated, proactive, and scaled to fit your work.
Traditional safety consulting is often short-term or project-based, great for solving one problem at a time, but not for building a sustainable safety culture.
Our fractional model is relationship-driven and fully integrated. We become a trusted extension of your team, with regular check-ins, scheduled deliverables, and proactive communication. We don't just provide recommendations, we implement, monitor, and adapt them alongside you.
Compared to hiring a full-time HSE Manager, fractional management gives you more flexibility, broader expertise, and lower cost. You choose the level of involvement your business needs, whether that's a few hours a week or ongoing embedded support, and scale up or down as needed.
We specialize in supporting high-risk, high-compliance industries like oil & gas, construction (industrial, commercial, and residential), transportation, and manufacturing.
But our work doesn't stop there. We also provide tailored safety support for clients in aviation, food services, utilities, cannabis, environmental services, and other specialized sectors where compliance, worker safety, and operational risk need active management.
Our team brings cross-industry experience across Western Canada, Ontario, the Territories, and into the U.S. - adapting to regional regulations, client expectations, and unique workplace hazards.
