Fall Protection Plan Development and Implementation

The contract requires the development and implementation of a site-specific Fall Protection Plan tailored for ship cargo hold inspections in Quebec, focusing on high-risk environments where workers are exposed to falls from height. The deliverables include comprehensive risk assessments identifying potential fall hazards, detailed safe work procedures to mitigate those risks, and robust emergency response protocols to ensure immediate and effective action in the event of an incident. The plan must align with Canadian occupational health and safety standards and account for the unique physical constraints and operational conditions of cargo holds on vessels operating in the region, including those in Montréal, Montréal-Est, Montréal-Ouest, Québec, and Saint-Hyacinthe. This subcontract, issued under the Government of Canada through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, is classified under NAICS code 541611 for scientific and technical consulting services. Proposals must be submitted by June 5, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed entirely within the designated locations in Quebec. While no set-aside provisions are indicated, the contract demands specialized expertise in industrial fall protection systems, confined space operations, and marine inspection safety protocols. The successful contractor will be responsible for ensuring the plan is not only compliant but also practical, field-tested, and integrated into existing inspection workflows to protect personnel during routine and emergency operations.
