Some of you may recall that Sandy was the original “B” in E & B Paralegal, a company which she co-owned with Jodi Burness until January of 2008. E & B Paralegal Inc. offered a wide variety of services to clients including representation in Provincial Offences Court, as well as assistance with log auditing and regulatory compliance issues. As a result of new licensing and areas of practice regulations imposed in January of 2008, it became necessary for Jodi and Sandy to create two separate and distinct companies. The paralegal services once provided by E & B Paralegal Inc. are now offered through Burness Paralegal Professional Corporation. The compliance issues will still be handled by Sandy Baigent at E & B Safety Consulting Inc.

Sandy takes a proactive approach in terms of assisting carriers in creating effective policies and procedures that will assist a carrier in demonstrating that it is being diligent in the eyes of the Ministry and the Courts. Sandy, acting as a consultant on behalf of a carrier, has been involved in Ministry interventions or sanctions including facility audits and Show Cause Hearings. Speaking engagements have played a large role in this education process and this is something that she enjoys tremendously.
