Ever heard the phrase “social license to operate”? It’s not some fancy legal term—it’s about trust. A social license is the unofficial stamp of approval your business gets from the community, stakeholders, and even your own employees. And in Calgary’s industries, like oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing, earning this trust is critical.
Here’s the kicker: social licenses aren’t permanent. You don’t get one and keep it forever. They’re earned through your actions—day in, day out. That’s where Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) steps in as your secret weapon.
How does keeping your workplace safe help you earn trust? Let’s break it down:

Here’s the deal: achieving a social license requires more than good intentions. It demands a solid plan, consistent effort, and expert guidance. That’s where Calgary Safety Consultants comes in.
We specialize in making OH&S a core part of your trust-building strategy. Here’s how:
Trust is a two-way street, and OH&S is one of the best ways to pave it. Whether you’re in construction, energy, or manufacturing, prioritizing safety isn’t just good business—it’s the foundation of community and stakeholder support.
