Testimonials

What our cus­tomers have to say about us

Jason WoodyBulwark Safety Systems Co-Founder

We chose to work with Compliance inSight after working with several other consultants in the past. We were able to solve some very challenging safety problems with Doug's help.

Joe FaganInside Sales, Clarion Safety Systems

I really enjoyed and was impressed with how you blend in legal, historical and product knowledge into what too many see as just a “label”.

Jono HorneStudent

The course was expertly delivered and laid out in a very intuitive manner that follows a logical progression which strengthens the learning experience. It’s clear to see Doug is an expert in the field of Risk Assessments and understands the importance of the fundamentals, and he is eager to share his depth of expertise and capable of explaining things in a way that is easy to digest. I thoroughly enjoyed the course material, which almost seemed tailor made for me and my role at my company. The availability of office hours and 1-on-1 training further reinforced any questions related to specific applications, which was invaluable.

Rolf HuberPresident, Everplay Play and Recreation Surfaces

The RA101 from Compliance Insight gave us a clear understanding and perspective that we have been able to carry into CSA Z614-20, ASTM F1487-21 and currently we are working as convenor of the WG6 of ISO TC83 developing a Benefit-Risk Assessment document.
The RA101 presents the topic of hazard identification and risk assessment in a clear and concise manner that can be applied to the Occupational Health and Safety, which works for us in our construction work, but also provides us with the ability to think through the processes as they could apply in the sport and recreation sector. A clear element of Risk Assessment is the development of a thinking process and RA101 provides that.
We would recommend the course to anyone wanting to take a single course to establish a solid footing in Risk Assessment.

Jose DominguezSr. Regulatory & Safety Engineer, 6 River Systems

RA101 was a great course, with a lot of resources that explained in detail the process of conducting a risk assessment in a clear manner. Doug also goes the extra mile by having office time every week to help answer any questions you may have. Strongly recommend this course to anyone looking into this subject.
