Early-stage water treatment technology companies frequently have strong process engineering capability but limited experience navigating the health, safety, and environmental (HSE) program requirements expected at oil sands and heavy industrial sites in Alberta. Without a credible HSE program, even a technically excellent pilot or demonstration unit can be barred from site access — or worse, create real safety risk during field deployment. GWTS develops practical, audit-ready HSE programs purpose-built for technology companies operating pilot and commercial systems in industrial environments.

Our HSE program development draws directly on GWTS’s own ISNetworld registration and decades of combined field experience operating water treatment equipment at active oil sands and mining sites — meaning the programs we build for technology partners reflect what site owners and ISNetworld auditors actually expect, not generic boilerplate.

Program Components

• Hazard assessment and job safety analysis (JSA) development specific to pilot and demonstration unit operation
• Site-specific safety orientation materials and field operating procedures
• Incident reporting, investigation, and corrective action program structure
• ISNetworld registration support and document preparation for contractor pre-qualification
• Environmental management procedures for chemical handling, spill response, and waste management
• Field supervision and safety oversight during early pilot deployments where requested
