C&P has a requirement for up to four (4) Senior (Level 3) Employee Relation Consultants to conduct comprehensive Job Safety Analyses (JSA). The JSAs must incorporate all aspects of occupational health and safety as they apply to the job functions being analyzed. All workplace hazards must be considered, with particular attention to variations across DFO's numerous regions, ensuring that any relevant differences are explicitly addressed.

The Employee Relation Consultants will be required to support the branch’s requirements.
As a part of the work, the consultants must assess current controls in the workplace and recommend corrective measures where required.
Each JSA must be completed in the following three (3) phases:
1. Documentation review and market analysis
2. Site visits and interviews

The supplier will conduct a comprehensive JSA for C&P’s Fishery Officers (FO). Following the described three (3) phases, the supplier will conduct extensive research, conduct interviews, and review and assess current FO enforcement tools and training with a focus on firearms, use of force training, available personal protective equipment (PPE) and associated training requirements, and overall officer health and safety. The goal of the report and subsequent action by C&P will allow officers to conduct their duties safely and effectively. This report will be guided by input from multiple partners and stakeholders as described in the resulting Task Authorizations (TA).
