Specialized Certifications
Select team members are additionally trained in:
- - Asbestos awareness

Ongoing Safety Integration
Safety training is not only a legal requirement—it's integral to our daily operations and work culture.
Commitment to Protection
We are dedicated to protecting the well-being of our team and the people and property of every client we serve.
Training
At SMI, we take the safety of our staff, subcontractors, and clients with the upmost seriousness. As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and compliant work environment, every new team member undergoes mandatory safety training from day one. This includes the four core safety programs:
- - WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System)
- - Worker Health and Safety Awareness in 4 Steps
- - Supervisor Health and Safety Awareness in 5 Steps (where applicable)
- - Working at Heights (for applicable roles)
We believe safety training is not just a formality—it's a responsibility. That's why we go beyond initial onboarding. All safety certifications for staff and subcontractors are closely monitored and renewed on a scheduled basis. This ensures that every individual working under the SMI name remains fully informed of evolving safety protocols, legal updates, and best practices.
Our leadership team maintains a centralized tracking system to manage training records and certification expiry dates. We take pride in our proactive, no-compromise approach to safety compliance—because a safe workplace protects not only our teams, but also the clients and communities we serve.
