/ Industrial & Plant Security
What it is. What it is not.
Industrial security in Ontario is a compliance discipline as much as a physical one. Petrochemical plants in Sarnia's Chemical Valley, steel operations in Hamilton and Sault Ste. Marie, automotive plants in Windsor, Oakville, Cambridge, Ingersoll and Alliston, cement plants across the province — all operate under a compliance envelope that a generalist security company will fumble.
Ontario Security Services staffs industrial contracts with officers who understand permit-to-work, lockout-tagout verification, TDG-familiar receiving, WHMIS 2015, and emergency muster protocols. Gate control is disciplined. Contractor onboarding is documented. Emergency muster headcounts are recorded and reconciled. And when a shut-down demands fire watch, it is delivered to Ontario Fire Code without exception.
From Sarnia's petrochemical corridor to Hamilton's steel belt, from automotive plants along the 401 to cement and aggregate operations across the province, we protect the industrial base that Ontario's economy actually runs on.
