Safety First Consulting Professional Corporation
Since starting Safety First Consulting Professional Corporation in 2005, Mary Strazzeri grew the company to more than 500 clients in Ontario from 20. When asked what has been critical to her success, the company president said: “Perseverance and some serious ambition. I just never gave up.” Due to that strong work ethic, Safety First Consulting has grown exponentially through referrals and has garnered an esteemed list of clients across industries, with a strong presence in construction and industrial establishments. “Honesty and transparency have always worked for me with my clients,” says Strazzeri. Strazzeri saw the need for a one-stop shop solution for employers. Safety First Consulting has the experience and knowledge to help employers not only prevent injuries but to help manage them with licensed paralegals. Safety First Consulting is a leader in occupational health and safety in Canada. Its stellar reputation has continued to thrive over the last 16 years. “Once you prove yourself and you’re able to get positive results, there are fewer barriers,” she says. “Know your job. Know what your clients want. And provide a really good service. I’ve never deviated from that formula, and it’s been very successful.”
