CONSULTING SERVICES Expertise, Combined with a Quick Response ACUTE’s consulting work combines quick response times with expertise in the Occupational Health & Safety Act and Ministry of Labour regulations. From ACUTE’s central location in Waterloo, staff will travel to a client’s site to provide honest and confidential assessments of a company’s needs. ACUTE will also provide help to bring the client to “due diligence” on all the regulations in time to meet and pass Ministry inspections. “We really try to take the myth out of Ministry orders,” said Ron Campbell, president and co-owner of ACUTE. “We hope it’s more of a check-up than a root canal by the time we’re done.” Some of the services offered by ACUTE: • Workplace Health & Safety Audits Honest and confidential inspections that will help a firm meet and exceed the minimum safety standards.
