Advisory engagements built around your specific challenges.

Organizations facing complex occupational health challenges, a silica exposure liability, cases of disease prevalence, a national OHS system that is not working, a policy framework that has fallen behind modern exposure risks need advice that combines field credibility, policy experience, and systemic thinking. That is the foundation of every strategic advisory engagement.

What this typically includes:

• Occupational disease prevention framework design and governance
• National and regional OHS plan or policy development and regulatory alignment
• Silica risk assessment and integrated exposure management programme design
• ESG and workforce health risk advisory for corporate boards
• Cross-border and legacy occupational disease coordination
• Subject matter expert contributions to EU, governments, and UN forums

Clients include: Mining corporations, construction firms, tunnelling and drilling contractors, indigenous nations, trade unions, government ministries, UN agencies, and national regulatory authorities

Occupational disease research demands more than academic rigour. It requires field access, institutional relationships, and the ability to translate complex findings into systems that governments and organizations can implement. Dr. Sultan brings all three with an active CAD $600,000 CIHR research programme at UBC as evidence of such.

What this typically includes:

• Longitudinal and cross-sectional study design and principal investigator oversight
• Exposure assessment and biological monitoring protocol development
• AI-integrated early detection frameworks for silicosis and TB
• Introduction of novel biomarkers into biological effect monitoring
• Occupational Epidemiological pattern detection using body mapping techniques
• Academic collaboration, co-authorship, and peer-reviewed publication support
• Ethics committee navigation and research governance

Clients include: Universities, research institutes, grant bodies, international health agencies

A health and safety policy document is not a health system. A functioning workforce health system integrates surveillance, monitoring, early intervention, compensation frameworks, and cross-sector coordination. Building one requires experience in what works at the field level across diverse contexts – from the Channel Tunnel to Southern Africa's mining belt to British Columbia's infrastructure corridor and mining sector.

What this typically includes:

• Silica risk management programme design for mining, construction, and tunnelling
• National OHS surveillance system architecture and implementation
• Health equity frameworks for Indigenous, migrant, remote workers and key and vulnerable populations
• Medical surveillance protocol design and WorkSafeBC-type regulatory advisory
• Compensation system design and legacy disease framework coordination
• Cross-border health system coordination for migrant worker populations

Clients include: Mining companies, construction and infrastructure firms, government health authorities, Indigenous development corporations

Dr. Sultan speaks from decades of practice, not from a slide deck. His presentations challenge the assumption that occupational disease is a solved problem. They are grounded in field evidence, current research, and the lived reality of the communities most affected. Available for international conference keynotes, regulatory and policy panels, expert witness engagements, and authoritative media commentary. Tactful but transparent in speaking on facts rather than opinions.

What this typically includes:

• International conference keynote presentations
• Industry association and regulatory forum panels
• Expert witness and technical advisory in legal proceedings
• Media commentary for broadcast, print, and digital
• Authored contributions to trade and professional publications
• University guest lectures / visiting professor and executive education

Clients include: Conference organisers, industry associations, law firms, universities, media outlets
