About Strategic HSE

Established in 2010 and headquartered in Peace River, Alberta,

Strategic HSE

has become a trusted partner for businesses across Western Canada with national expansion underway. Growth is strong, referrals are steady, and we are building a high-performance bench of consultants to meet demand.
