Best Personnel is a health and safety recruitment agency in BC that helps employers hire qualified safety officers while meeting WorkSafeBC and COR compliance requirements. We don’t just place staff. We support safer job sites through trained personnel, proven safety procedures, and ongoing compliance support.
How We Vet and Recruit Health & Safety Professionals
Hiring the wrong safety professional can expose your company to risk, delays, and compliance issues. That is why our recruitment process is designed to go beyond resumes and ensure every candidate is site-ready, certified, and aligned with your industry requirements.
As a health and safety recruitment agency, Best Personnel screens candidates for both technical qualifications and real-world job site experience. Our vetting process focuses on compliance, competency, and reliability so employers can hire with confidence.
Our Applicant Vetting Process Includes
All health and safety candidates are reviewed for:
Relevant safety certifications and tickets
Industry-specific experience (construction, industrial, manufacturing, etc.)
Knowledge of WorkSafeBC regulations and standards
Familiarity with COR requirements and site safety programs
Previous job site exposure and supervisory experience where required
Communication skills and ability to work with crews, supervisors, and management
Where applicable, we also confirm candidates have experience supporting:
Toolbox talks
Hazard assessments and FLRAs
Incident and accident investigations
PPE and fit testing procedures
Site orientations and safety documentation
This ensures the safety professionals we place can step onto your site and contribute immediately.
What the Hiring Process Looks Like for Employers
Working with Best Personnel is designed to be straightforward and efficient. We understand that when you need a safety professional, timing and compliance matter.
Step 1: Understand Your Site and Requirements
We start by learning about your project, job site conditions, and compliance needs. This includes:
Type of project and industry
Required certifications and experience level
Duration of the role (temporary, project-based, or ongoing)
Site-specific safety requirements
Reporting structure and expectations
This allows us to match you with candidates who are already aligned with your environment.
Step 2: Candidate Selection and Screening
Based on your needs, we identify and screen qualified safety officers from our existing network. Each candidate is reviewed against your requirements before being presented to you.
You receive candidates who are:
Properly certified
Experienced in similar work environments
Ready to meet WorkSafeBC and COR standards
Step 3: Placement and Onboarding Support
Once a candidate is selected, we coordinate placement and onboarding. This includes ensuring all required documentation, certifications, and site requirements are in place before the start date.
Our goal is to make the transition onto your site smooth and compliant from day one.
Ongoing Support After Placement
Our role does not end once a safety professional is placed. Best Personnel provides continued support to both employers and workers to help maintain safe, compliant job sites.
Post-Placement Support Includes
Ongoing communication with employers and safety staff
Support with safety documentation and reporting
Alignment with internal safety programs and expectations
Assistance with compliance-related questions
Access to safety resources and procedures as needed
Because Best Personnel maintains COR Certification and prioritizes safety standards, employers benefit from working with a recruitment agency that understands long-term compliance, not just short-term placement.
Industries We Support with Health & Safety Recruitment
