As an industrial contractor in Northern Ontario, safety is part of everything we do. At The Patrick Group of Companies, we use start any project with smart planning to meet safety standards and keep every crew aligned from day one.
We bring all trades together, mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and more, to plan each phase. This helps prevent mistakes, reduce delays, and keep workers safe. Clear plans mean better outcomes, especially on high-risk or multi-trade job sites.
Why Cross-Trade Smart Planning Works
An industrial contractor in Northern Ontario often manages complex projects with multiple crews working at once. Without early planning, trades can clash, risks increase, and progress slows.
Cross-trade planning stops that from happening. It allows every crew to understand timelines, safety zones, and shared work areas. As a result, we avoid overlap and reduce jobsite risks.
We also use this approach on all project sizes, from simple installs to full-site builds.
Spotting Hazards Before They Happen
Safety starts long before we arrive onsite. During planning, our team holds pre-job meetings to review each trade’s role and outline safe workflows.
For example, when PSL Patrick Sprack Ltd. installs fuel systems and Patrick Mechanical Ltd. welders work nearby, we plan where and when each trade operates. This helps avoid fumes, ignition risks, or trip hazards.
We also use tools like Bistrainer to keep safety training and crew certifications up to date across all companies.
Building a Culture That Puts Safety First
At The Patrick Group, everyone plays a part in safety. We don’t leave it to one crew or one supervisor. Our cross-trade planning makes sure each team knows how their work affects others.
We also encourage all team members to speak up, share ideas, and take ownership. This approach builds a strong safety culture—one where people look out for each other and get the job done right.

Smarter Projects Start With Safer Plans
We don’t just meet safety standards, we build around them. That’s how our group delivers full-scope projects while protecting both workers and schedules.
Being part of MineConnect also helps us stay current with industry best practices in mining and heavy industry. We apply these lessons to every division, whether it’s Patrick Mechanical, Bisschops Industries, or S2 Metal Fabricators.
