Where to start

Pick the safety service you need today

Most operators come to us with one problem — a prequal that stalled, an audit date, a safety coordinator who quit — and stay for the rest. So start anywhere in the list.

Safety Consulting

Contractor favourite

In short, a safety department on retainer. A fractional safety advisor runs your program month to month, so documents stay current, meetings run, and certification stays audit-ready — for a fraction of a full-time hire.

Fractional Advisor plans →

COR Certification

Certificate of Recognition for employers with more than ten workers. First a gap analysis, then a health and safety management system built to the standard, and finally your documentation prepared for the certifying partner audit.

COR in Alberta →

SECOR Certification

The small-employer route — ten workers or fewer. Your SECOR manual written for your operation in 3 to 7 days, from $1,950, and a temporary letter can have you bidding while your documentation builds.

SECOR in Alberta →

Safety Software

Most Popular

One platform for safety, training, documents and inspections — with a real safety administrator behind it, not just a login you manage yourself. Also included in every retainer plan.

Electrical Safety Training

CSA Z462 arc flash and electrical safety, taught live by people who’ve been on the tools — virtual instructor-led, on-site tailored to your equipment, or a scheduled session in your area. Hands-on PPE work instead of a video to click through.

Safety Documentation

Safe work practices, safe job procedures, hazard assessments and field-level risk assessments — because they should be written for how your crews actually work, not downloaded from somewhere else.

COR Auditing & Prep

Already certified and the audit is on the calendar? We run the internal safety audit, close the element gaps we find, and get the evidence in order before the external auditor arrives.

Online Safety Training

Hundreds of online courses by trade, industry and occupation — WHMIS, ground disturbance, confined space, fall protection and the rest — with certificates, so your training matrix reads clean at audit time.

Custom Course Development

Your training, built end to end — concept, curriculum, filming, editing and delivery on our online platform. Your crew trains on your equipment and your procedures instead of a generic slideshow.

How it fits together

Separate services, one program underneath

Certification, documentation, training and day-to-day monitoring are not four projects. Rather, they are one safety program looked at from four angles — which is why buying them from four vendors is how programs drift out of date.

Instead, we keep them on one platform: hazard assessments and field-level hazard assessments filed as the crew does them, with inspections and incidents logged in the same place. Meanwhile, training certificates track against a matrix, and document control shows the auditor which revision was current when the work happened.

So when a prime contractor asks for your certificate, your stats or your incident history, the answer takes minutes — because someone kept it ready all year.

What that looks like in practice

  • Hazard assessments and FLHAs completed on a phone in the field, so nothing waits for a clipboard.
  • Inspections, incidents and near-misses in one log with corrective actions tracked to closed.
  • Training matrix by worker, with expiry warnings before the ticket lapses.
  • Document control with revision history — the answer to “which version was current?”
  • Subcontractor compliance followed up instead of filed and forgotten.
  • Prequalification portals kept current year-round.
Why operators pick us

We have been on the tools. It shows.

Tradespeople first

Journeyman tradesmen who earned the NCSO and studied safety at the university level. Foremen take the advice because it comes from someone who has done the job.

Audit-tested since 2013

More than 100 audit-ready programs built — so we know which binder the auditor opens first.

Real WCB movement

Every client we have taken on has seen a double-digit turnaround in their WCB costs — several with experience-rating swings of 60 points or more. In fact, one went from a 34% surcharge to a 32% discount.

A real document library

Hundreds of field-tested procedures kept current with the Alberta OHS Code, tailored to your operation instead of copy-pasted.

Named timelines

When you need certification-ready fast, we build to a date — roughly a three-week program build — instead of “sometime this quarter.”

Direct to decision-makers

No phone trees, no ticket queues — the people on your file can actually make the call. Based in Edmonton, so there is no travel surcharge in the capital region — and remote-first everywhere else we work.

Questions operators ask

Safety services, answered

The basics

What safety services does a company like this actually provide?
Four things, usually in this order: build the safety program (written procedures, hazard assessments, forms), certify it if your contracts need a certificate, train the workers and track the tickets, then keep the whole thing current so it survives an audit or a prequalification review. Some clients buy one piece. Most end up on a retainer because the program ages the moment nobody is maintaining it.
Do I need COR, SECOR, or just a safety program?
It depends on your headcount and who you want to bid for. More than ten workers points to COR, while ten or fewer points to SECOR. If no client is asking for a certificate yet, a properly built safety program with current documentation is often the right first spend — and it is the same foundation certification is built on later. Alberta’s OHS Act obligations apply either way, whatever your headcount.
Are you a certifying partner?
No — and in fact, no consultant is. Certifying partners are industry associations authorised by the province; the current list is on Alberta’s certifying partner page. We build and maintain the program, run the internal audit, and prepare your evidence so the external audit goes smoothly. The certificate is issued through your certifying partner.

Money, coverage & speed

Will certification actually lower our WCB premiums?
Certification opens the door to WCB Alberta’s Partnerships in Injury Reduction incentive, and your premium is also driven by your own claims experience — read the mechanics in the WCB PIR brochure and how premiums are set. What we can tell you from our own book: the movement is real, it compounds over a few years, and it scales with your size and claims history. What we will not do is put a number on your rebate before we have seen your file.
Do you work outside Edmonton?
Yes. Every plan is remote-first, so the day-to-day work happens wherever your crews are, and scheduled site visits can be added anywhere. We are Edmonton-based, so there is no travel surcharge for work in the capital region, and we are actively taking on work across Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario.
How fast can you start?
Onboarding starts within days of a signed scope, and a certification-ready program build runs roughly three weeks depending on how much usable documentation you already have. So if you are working to a client deadline or an audit date, tell us the date on the call and we will tell you honestly whether it is reachable.
