Founder and Consultant
Will founded COR Value Safety to help Alberta employers build health and safety systems that make sense in real operations, not only in policies, manuals, or audit evidence.
Will is a Canadian Registered Safety Professional with field and leadership experience supporting higher-risk and operationally complex work. His consulting approach focuses on the connection between management expectations, supervisor decisions, worker practices, documentation, and the controls used in day-to-day operations.
Through COR Value Safety, Will works directly with employers rather than separating the initial consultation from the person assessing the problem and developing the recommended approach.
