Field-tested HSE — 24 years and counting.
Justifiable Safety Management Services Ltd. was founded in 2013 by Robert Hergott. With 24 years of HSE experience across British Columbia and Alberta — including managing safety programs for pipeline companies with 800+ employees and field HSE for three different Energy industry Prime Contractors — we bring real-world knowledge to every project.
Safety excellence, tailored to the work.
Our mission is to promote a culture of safety excellence by delivering responsive, practical, and proven health & safety support tailored to each client's work environment.
That means no boilerplate programs. No "safety theatre." We bring our experience to your jobsite, listen to your crew, and build a program that actually fits — one that supervisors can run and workers will follow.

Based in Fort St John. On site across BC and Alberta.
Justifiable Safety operates out of Fort St John, BC — the heart of the Northeast BC energy corridor. Our work takes us across British Columbia and Alberta: multi-well drilling pads, frac campaigns, civil earthworks, plant construction, pipeline installation, and small mining operations.
For multi-day or multi-week projects, we stay on location. For shorter engagements, we mobilize quickly from Fort St John.
