Redesigning The Way Your Company Works

COVID-19 has changed the way we work, play, and interact with our world. Whether your company is a single or multiple branch office operation, with industrial facilities or mobile public and field workers — developing a clear, concise program requires careful consideration and detailed risk and resource assessments.

Unique challenges require unique customized solutions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unique challenges for businesses and workforces all across Canada. Public health departments, government leaders, and associations provide continual streams of information where business owners and executives must analyze this information to the best of their ability, providing direction in the creation of customized solutions for their business.

Barantas Inc. (Barantas) has remained focused on the core principles of prevention and safety services offering clarity and direction to company programs and operational procedure development.

Barantas can assist in any of the following key areas:

  • Business re-opening plans and implementation strategies
  • Operational redesign of workspace management
  • Worker inter-personal safety prevention programs and methodologies
  • Workforce programs for office, industrial, municipal and education sectors
  • Construction project-specific pandemic enhanced programs and inspections
  • Health and safety manual and policy development
  • Personal protective equipment supply and sourcing (masks, gloves, face shields)

Barantas provides comprehensive, long-term protection strategies and a personalized partnership anchored by our commitment to service excellence.

Redesigning Workplaces in a Post Pandemic Era

Our national reach and multi-disciplinary approach to safety management allow you to access a complete suite of health and safety services for a fraction of what it would cost you to source these services individually.

Barantas interactively works with you in evaluating and developing your new workplace strategies and worker health and safety management. Our goal is to collaboratively provide our expertise and knowledge to your key persons or teams, building a sustainable, internal infrastructure focused on the health and safety of your workforce.

We utilize a FIVE phase process. This process begins with a data acquisition phase, where we learn and understand your business, through to ensuring your teams can execute, monitor and continually adapt your program to meet today’s and future challenges.

Our process is based on the following principles:

  • Risk Reduction: Focused on reducing risk through prevention methodologies using the hierarchy of controls.
  • Individual Health and Safety Protection: Ensuring your company is taking the precautions reasonable for the protection of workers, employees, clients and affected individuals.
  • Maintenance of Applicable Requirements: Continual monitoring of authority directives, legislative requirements, and corporate due diligence best practices combined into a preparedness program able to adapt to changing environments and new directives.
  • Education and Sustainability: As part of working with your team through the five-phase process, our goal is to ensure understanding and application of the principles and methodologies for key team members ensuring an ability to assess, respond and adapt to continual change in both external factors and internal business decisions.

Do Not Lose Focus

Let us not forget about all the other risks & threats that kept us up at night before the threat of the pandemic landed on our doorsteps.

Yes, the response to the pandemic is important.  Unfortunately, there are other risks & threats that still exist.  

Do not lose focus.

Organizations now more than ever need to be able to strike a balance with multiple focal points whist executing their emergency response, risk & security, business continuity plans.

Stay organized.  Stay Sharp.

We can Help.

Plan the Work.  Work the Plan.

Should your Municipality need assistance, contact Michael White Group today, and we will be happy to answer your questions or provide quotations.

Identifying and Managing Procurement Risks – Public and Private Sector

Identifying and Managing Procurement Risks – Public and Private Sector

Workshop Dates: July 16, 17, 23, 24 from 9AM – 12:30PM EST.

As a response to the COVID -19, we are conducting this professional development session online . We are fully cognizant of the difficult decisions you are making everyday, as supply chain professionals driving the Canadian economy during this extraordinary time. We applaud your commitment to continued education. 


Managing Procurement Risks

Workshop Overview: 

Procurement risks are ever increasing considering the high value, increased size, scope and volume of procurements, complexity, stringent policies, rules, regulations and trade agreements. This workshop is developed to identify potential risks and provide practical tools and strategies to mitigate those risks. 

This workshop is critical now more than ever as it is designed to address all facets of procurement risk and provides advice to identify, access, avoid, transfer and mitigate  the supply chain challenges/risks in crisis times (e.g. Global Pandemic). How an outbreak of deadly disease happening at other part of the world would impact your supply chain and how you can protect your supply chain and address supply shortages and access to critical products and services. 

Professionals involved in Supply Chain Activities make decisions and inherit a variety of risks while executing procurement projects involving a large amount of dollars. Are you aware of those risks and should you be taking those risks? And how to provide value added services to your organization by effectively mitigating procurement risks.  Procurement professionals that understand risks, consequences and mitigation strategies are the leaders for supply chain.  Procurement professionals are tasked to achieve cost-savings and conduct an open, fair and transparent procurement process. Do you realize that systematic identification and risk mitigation strategies significantly increases your chances of achieving those cost savings targets and meeting the fairness obligations?

This workshop will show you how to achieve those targets and provide you with comprehensive understanding of different types of risks at each stage of the procurement process. It will provide you with risk mitigation strategies, case studies, checklists and best practices.

Target Audience:

This workshop is designed for wide-range of professionals involved in Supply Chain Activities (procuring goods, services, construction, consulting) within the private sector and public sector organizations (Municipal, Provincial and Federal government, Universities, Hospitals, School boards, Colleges and other government agencies) where they are directly or indirectly involved in procurement activities and influencing the procurement outcome.

The professionals including Project Managers, Evaluation Team members, Logistics professionals, Category Specialist, Procurement Analyst, Procurement Managers, Business Analysts, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Contract Managers, HR, IT, and Finance Professionals would greatly benefit  and gain confidence from this workshop where they would understand the procurement risks and gain knowledge around the best practices for managing those risks to improve the overall bottom line of their organization.
