“We were overwhelmed by a work order given to us by the MOL. A simple phone call to Bill Godkin and the CE Safety team seemingly solved all of our Health and Safety issues. They acted fast, were very thorough, and have provided us with all of the support, and materials we need to ensure that a culture of safety exists here at Sawmill Creek Golf Resort and Spa.”

“We contracted CEsafety in the summer of 2011 to ensure we were in compliance with occupational health and safety regulations. We had several safety programs in place but were concerned about exposure in various areas. We worked with Bill to develop a package for our campground which included an onsite safety risk audit, WHMIS training for staff, and occupational health and Safety manual. The most valuable aspect of the CEsafety review was the safety risk assessment audit. Bill provided us with a detailed safety report that we used as a guide to bring our workplace to safety compliance. Using CEsafety services our organization is in compliance with the regulation and we have good systems and tools in place to maintain a safe working environment. We highly recommend the services Bill Godkin provides.”

“Before working with Bill Godkin we did not have the time, resources or expertise to comply with all the regulations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act… we now have in a very short period of time turned all that around and will show very well when an inspector inevitably comes to my operation.”

“The task of preparing and implementing a workplace safety program is daunting even for the business owner or manager who may have spare time on his or her hands. It is a job that takes knowledge and experience. Bill Godkin of CEsafety was the white knight to the rescue for our golf club. Bill prepared a comprehensive safety program for our organization and has continued to provide updates to this program on a regular basis. Besides being fully experienced in all areas relating to safety, Bill is personable and professional in his business dealings. We have even recommended him to the National Golf Course Owners Association. We would not hesitate to recommend Bill to any other company that does not have a safety plan in effect. “

“Safety is the responsibility of each Employer and as Cataraqui Golf & Country Club was reviewing our Safety practices we decided it was time to turn to an expert in safety procedures specifically associated with our unique industry. With Bill Godkin’s patience and expertise our Safety program is now first class and we can feel confident in our training. Even with our confidence it is hard to keep up with all of the changes in safety legislation so we continue to utilize Bill Godkin’s expertise annually.”

“Bill did a fantastic job at alerting us to potential hazards around our facility. Having someone come in with a fresh pair of eyes is exactly what we needed. Bill developed a very comprehensive package with all of the potential safety issues, and prioritized the items from a code red to yellow to green. The package also included operating procedures and numerous templates. The time he saved me from trying to put a similar package together definitely covers the cost of the visits. I would definitely recommend Bill and CE Safety to anyone interested in improving Health and Safety in their workplace.”

“My name is Chris Barber, and I am the owner and general manager of The Landings Golf Course in Kingston. We are members of the NGCOA. I am writing to introduce you and to Mr. Bill Godkin, the owner of a Kingston based company called CEsafety.
As you know, over the past few years, the Ministry of Labour has been targeting golf courses and golf operations throughout our area, in an effort to make sure that we, as owners, are providing a safe and hazard-free environment for workers. In the Kingston area alone, I know of many operations that have been visited.
Mr. Godkin approached me a year ago, and proposed to do an audit of our facility, and our safety procedures. Upon completion of the audit, we were provided with a checklist of things that needed immediate attention, and those that would be required to be remedied in the near future. As well, Bill came in this spring to provide a safety seminar to all of our staff. And as well, it came at a price that was very affordable to a small course like ours.”
