About Q5 Systems

From Eastern Canada, to Every Continent

In 1997, on the windswept east coast of Canada, three enterprising young professionals with diverse expertise recognized a promising opportunity in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Brian Dicks, John Lukins, and Wayne Pardy brought their specialized knowledge in business management, computer programming, and health and safety to focus on developing an innovative safety and quality management system that addressed the growing demands faced by organizations across various industries. Sensing the need for more robust and user-friendly solutions, they crafted a groundbreaking product that would help define how companies would approach compliance and risk mitigation.

Over the next three years of researching and analyzing industry trends and pain points, they developed a comprehensive platform that seamlessly integrated cutting-edge safety protocols, a streamlined data management process, and an intuitive workflow automation. By the time their creation made its market debut in 2000, it had already garnered significant attention from leading industry organizations. That community has continually provided the input needed, to keep up with and even stay ahead of the growing regulatory demands.

Q5’s innovative safety and quality management solutions transformed the operational landscape, and cemented its founders’ reputations as innovative solution providers who had identified a critical need and delivered an exceptional industry-driven product.

Our Passion, Right from the Start

We began, like many early tech startups, with endless tradeshows and countless hotel rooms. Through it all, the vision to bring real change never dimmed. Almost three decades later, our safety management software is in use on every continent, but our passion is as strong as ever. We are bringing our unique and innovative Safety Compliance Management technology to the forefront of the aviation, mining, construction, OH&S, railway, and port industries.

As SMS pioneers, we remain driven by a deep-rooted conviction that every worker deserves to return home safely at the end of the day. We do that by creating accessible, affordable, and effective safety management software systems.
