PHSR Services in Ontario by Wintek Engineering
Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews (PHSR)
Wintek Engineering began over 40 years ago. Since Ontario's PHSR regulatory requirements came into effect over 25 years ago, Wintek Engineering has helped organizations through specialized engineering assessments, inspections, and Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews (PHSR). We help clients reduce risk, improve safety, avoid costly downtime, and make informed decisions about their facilities, equipment, and operations.
Pre-start Health and Safety Reviews were made mandatory for all businesses as of October 2000. PHSRs must be completed for any new or used process or equipment that has been installed or modified in a new or existing workplace. Many companies are unknowingly violating these regulations and are at risk of major fines.
