Policies and Programs Built to Serve You Better!

Health and Safety Policy

Blue Heron Solutions for Environmental Management Inc. is committed to achieving a high level of safety in every aspect of our work. We will achieve this by:

  • Providing suitable training (and where appropriate, certification), information and instruction to ensure that methods and equipment are fully understood and that employees are capable of carrying out allotted tasks in a safe and efficient manner
  • Investigating, providing and requiring the use of safety devices and protective equipment
  • Promoting a high level of health and safety awareness in all employees; and
  • Consulting with our clients on matters relevant to staff safety, health and welfare in the workplace

Environmental Policy

Blue Heron Environmental’s business focus is to work with clients to minimize and reduce the environmental impacts of human activities. We believe that in order to provide the highest standard of service to our clients, we must be a leader in applying sound environmental management principles and practices to our own business. To achieve this, we:

  • Comply with all relevant regulatory requirements and other commitments, and strive to exceed these whenever possible;
  • Minimize environmental impact in all areas of our business; and
  • Where appropriate, encourage clients to practice sound environmental management.

Training Policy

Two interwoven priorities define Blue Heron’s training experience. Creating a stimulating environment that will engage, motivate, and challenge all learners; while also considering the individuals current level of experience and development goals.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations are permitted without penalty 10 or more business days prior to the start of your scheduled public training course. Registrants who cancel their enrollment 5-9 business days prior to the start date will be charged 25% of the course fee.

Registrants who cancel their enrollment less than 5 business days prior to the start date will be charged 100% of the course fee. Registrants failing to attend a class without notifying Blue Heron Environmental prior to the start date of the course, will be considered a ‘no show’ and charged 100% of the course fee.

Tentative Events

You may have noticed some training events marked as “tentative” on our site.  Our training dept. attempts to make a wide range of scheduling options available for people interested in participating in Blue Heron, and our affiliated partners’ courses and workshops.  To make our scheduling more transparent, we publish and advertise these tentative events.  We encourage feedback on our tentative schedule and hope to meet the current and future needs of our clients.

A note about tentative events:

  • When a course is scheduled, it is by default marked as “tentative”. A tentative course will most likely run, but may get postponed or cancelled, usually up to a week or two before its start date.
  • Once the required number of registrations has been reached, the course will become “confirmed”. A confirmed course is guaranteed to run.

So, the sooner you register, the sooner we can confirm. And we hope you do. Please contact us if you have any questions about any of our courses.

If you have a group of people who would like training, we can also directly arrange this for you if you contact our training coordinator, Serena Maki (smaki@blueheronenv.com).
