Hire a WorkSafeBC Qualified Professional — CRSP and CSP — Lower Mainland BC
WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation requires a qualified person to conduct and sign off on confined space hazard assessments, hazardous materials surveys, exposure control plans, and more. Most small and mid-size BC employers do not have a CRSP or CSP on staff. MP Environmental Consulting provides qualified professional services on a contract basis — you get the credentials your WorkSafeBC compliance requires without the cost of a full-time safety professional.

WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation uses the term "qualified person" throughout. In most cases, this means someone with the education, training, and experience to perform the specific task — typically a CRSP, CSP, CIH, ROH, or P.Eng. Both CRSP and CSP are explicitly accepted by WorkSafeBC. Here is what requires a QP in BC workplaces:
Confined Space Hazard Assessment and Entry Program
OHS Reg 9.11Pre-Demolition Hazardous Materials Survey
OHS Reg 20.112Exposure Control Plan Development
OHS Reg 5.54Chemical and Biological Exposure Assessment
OHS Reg 7.2Written Respirator Program
OHS Reg 8.40Workplace Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
OHS Reg 4.4OHS Program Development
OHS Reg 3.3The BC employers who call us.
Small and mid-size employers without in-house safety staff
Most BC businesses with fewer than 50 workers cannot justify a full-time CRSP or CSP. A contract qualified professional provides the credentials and expertise needed for specific WorkSafeBC-regulated requirements at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Contractors and construction companies
Construction projects in BC require qualified professional oversight for confined space programs, pre-demolition hazmat surveys, and OHS program development. Most contractors retain a QP on a project-by-project basis.
Property managers and strata corporations
Buildings with underground parkades, mechanical rooms, utility vaults, or pump rooms have confined space obligations. Property managers also need hazmat reports for renovation permits and IAQ assessments for tenant complaints.
Healthcare, dental, and laboratory facilities
Exposure control plans for bloodborne pathogens and chemical hazards require a person with expertise in the specific hazards present. CRSP and CSP qualifications satisfy the WorkSafeBC requirement for ECP development in healthcare and laboratory settings.
Employers following a WorkSafeBC inspection or order
After a WorkSafeBC compliance order or stop-work order, employers need a qualified professional to develop corrective actions, implement required programs, and demonstrate compliance to the OHS Division.
Developers and builders
Every pre-1990 building requires a QP hazmat survey before a demolition permit is issued. Developers and builders working across the Lower Mainland need a reliable QP who responds fast and delivers reports on schedule.
The highest credentials WorkSafeBC accepts — with the broadest scope.
WorkSafeBC accepts several designations as Qualified Professional: CIH, ROH, CSP, CRSP, and P.Eng. CRSP and CSP are the strongest choice for most Lower Mainland employers because they cover the widest range of regulated requirements under a single credential.

604-418-3886Common questions.
How do I know if my workplace requires a qualified person under WorkSafeBC?
If your workplace has confined spaces, pre-1990 buildings undergoing renovation or demolition, chemical or biological hazard exposure, workers using respiratory protection, or if you have received a WorkSafeBC compliance order — you almost certainly need a qualified professional. Call 604-418-3886 for a free same-day consultation.
Do I need a full-time CRSP or CSP on staff?
No. WorkSafeBC regulations require that specific assessments and programs be developed or signed off by a qualified person — they do not require a full-time QP on staff. Most small and mid-size BC employers hire a qualified professional on a contract or project basis for the specific regulated requirements that apply to their workplace.
Can one QP cover multiple WorkSafeBC requirements for my business?
Yes. A CRSP and CSP can develop your confined space entry program, complete your pre-demolition hazmat survey, develop your exposure control plan, and build your OHS program. One professional, one relationship, full regulatory compliance.
How much does it cost to hire a qualified professional on contract?
Pricing depends on the specific services required and the complexity of your workplace. Call 604-418-3886 for a free same-day quote. Most services are priced per project, not hourly.
