Safeguard The Future And Health Of Your Home, Building Or Workplace
Providing the Kootenays and beyond with hazmat, energy advising, safety and training solutions
As a dedicated team of environment and safety professionals, Keefer HSE can offer you a wide range of services to protect and improve your home, building or workplace.
We do safety audits and help you meet regulatory standards. We also provide training and certification programs to boost your safety credentials.
Our services include hazmat assessment, energy advising, safety training programs, in-house lab testing for hazardous materials and air quality, OH&S evaluation and consulting, and equipment sales and testing.
We Alleviate Compliance Overwhelm So That You Can Focus On Bigger Things
Home and workplace safety assurance can weigh heavy on the mind. Compliance is strict, consulting can be costly and many services only seem to be offered in faraway cities. This can make the process feel long, stressful and overwhelming.
Keefer HSE is a client-driven company rooted in expertise, integrity and empathy. Our mission is to fast-track safety solutions so that you can move forward quickly with assurance.
Building Client Relationships Grounded In Trust, Compassion And Value
Keefer HSE is client-focused. We prioritise building trusted relationships with our community by fostering strong communication and support. Hazmat issues can be exhausting, emotional and all-consuming. Our compassionate approach can help you to feel seen, heard and supported as we help you navigate tough situations.
“When it’s time to call a hazmat team, you’re probably feeling stressed! Keefer HSE was available so quickly, and they were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They simplified the report and solutions for me. Their kindness and support definitely helped during a stressful time. I would 100% suggest Keefer for anyone in need of hazmat help.”
- V. Jeanne
You shouldn’t have to break the bank to stay safe
Your best interests matter to us. We are willing to price-match or beat competitor estimates so that you don’t have to bleed money to maintain your home, run a job site or plan a build. We minimise hazmat testing costs by only running tests that are absolutely necessary. Additionally, we advocate for clients through negotiating with the abatement companies we work with to get the lowest abatement prices possible.

We Offer The Kootenays A Well-Rounded Approach To Workplace Safety Training
Mandatory Asbestos Training For People Handling Asbestos
Asbestos regulations have recently become more strict. As of January 2024, all workers handling, transporting or disposing of asbestos are now required by the government to be WorkSafe approved and certified. Although online courses are convenient, the pass rate for studying asbestos online is only about 20% whereas if you get trained in person with a qualified instructor, about 70% of applicants pass the exam. Furthermore, finding approved exam providers in BC can be challenging. Keefer HSE offers both training and exam services right here in the Kootenays, so that local asbestos workers don’t need to travel far to get certified.
Asbestos Level 1 And 2 Training And Certifications
Level 1 certification is a foundation course for workers who come in contact with asbestos on the job. This course is offered in-office or we can bring it to your workplace for group certification.
​
Level 2 is for asbestos abatement workers, takes place in-office and requires proof of Level 1 completion. Level 2 involves a practical component where workers build their own containment.
BEST VALUE: We provide a combined training package (Level 1 & 2) at a discounted rate.
