Hazardous Information Risk Assessment (HIRA)
An All-Hazards Risk Assessment can be vital in identifying major risks and vulnerabilities

An All-Hazards Risk Assessment can be vital in identifying major risks and vulnerabilities
Risk assessment refers to the comprehensive process of identifying hazards, evaluating the risks associated with those hazards, and prioritizing them in relation to a specific activity, task, or job. This process takes into account both the probability or likelihood of harm occurring from exposure and the potential consequence or severity of that harm. A risk assessment involves a detailed examination of your workplace to identify elements, situations, or processes that may pose a threat to your facilities, operations, and most importantly, your people. Once a hazard has been identified, it should be evaluated to determine the likelihood and severity of potential harm. Based on this evaluation, appropriate measures can be established to eliminate or control the risk, ensuring a safer environment for everyone involved.

Our team of fire safety and prevention professionals specializes in developing site-specific fire safety plans for a wide range of organizations, from healthcare facilities to manufacturing plants. We provide comprehensive project management throughout the entire process, including the creation of plans, procedures, and technical drawings.

- Liaising with outsourced architects and building contractors.
- Reviewing and addressing changes such as new buildings, structures, or process modifications.
- Drafting fire safety plans for all staff members.
- Producing technical drawings.

We give confidence to the public (Bystanders) to start patient care BEFORE 9-1-1 Emergency Services arrive; while raising money for Fundraisers and healthcare.
Everyday in Canada hundreds of people get sick or injured. Hospitals are overwhelmed and 9-1-1 response times are increasing.
As paramedics, firefighters, and police officers, we often witness crowds of bystanders standing idly during emergencies. This untapped resource has the potential to make a significant difference if individuals are empowered to provide first aid before 9-1-1 Emergency Services arrive.
The Get Ready Team has developed the Ready FIRST AIDE web app, enabling the public to access life-saving information directly on their mobile devices.
Businesses and organizations can purchase Ready FIRST AIDE through the Become a willing bystander Fundraising Programs for their staff and members. This initiative not only enhances community safety but also donates 50% of the purchase price to selected fundraisers and healthcare programs.

Select additional programs as needed
A flexible approach
Our approach to preparedness and resilience is intentionally flexible. We recognize that no two organizations are the same, and neither are their needs. That’s why our programs can be tailored in three ways:
Build your own program
By giving clients the freedom to build their own program— selecting only the tools and resources that will make the greatest impact—we empower teams to prepare confidently, respond effectively, and recover quickly. Whether you’re looking for focused training or a full-scale integrated program, Get Ready ensures that every component works together to strengthen your overall resilience.
Individual Modules:
Choose specific tools or training sessions to target an immediate need, whether it’s emergency response, leadership under pressure, or team communication. Integrated Solutions: Combine multiple program elements into a cohesive framework, creating a comprehensive preparedness strategy that covers all aspects of risk and resilience.
Scalable Design:
Start small and expand over time. Our programs grow with your organization, adapting as your priorities shift and challenges evolve.
