Tell us what's happening and we'll recommend the next practical step.
A safety program can look complete on paper and still fall behind in daily operations.
Policies become outdated. Training records go missing. Inspections get completed but not followed up. Corrective actions stay open. Hazard assessments stop matching the work. Supervisors may not know what needs to be reviewed next.
Calgary Safety Consultants provides safety program maintenance and OHS administration support for employers that need practical help keeping their program current, organized and connected to the work. The agreed scope identifies the jurisdiction, sites, records, roles and review frequency. The employer retains legal duties, approval authority, supervision and responsibility for implementation.
We support employers across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan with documentation reviews, record checks, corrective-action tracking, audit preparation and ongoing program updates. Support is based on the information and access provided; it is not a legal opinion, certification decision or guarantee that a control is effective.
Serving employers on site across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, and online across Canada.
Support packages
Three packages cover most employers, from a quarterly outside check to structured support for maintaining a COR or SECOR program. Each has a published starting price. Certification and maintenance audit decisions remain with the certifying partner.
Starting at $300 a month + GST
Best for employers with a working program who want an outside check.
Starting at $1,200 a month + GST
Best for employers without a full-time safety person.
Starting at $1,800 a month + GST
Best for COR and SECOR holders who need structured maintenance and audit-preparation support. Certification and maintenance decisions remain with the certifying partner.
Starting prices cover one site with up to 25 workers. More workers or sites, and travel for on-site sessions, raise the price. We confirm your price in writing before any work begins. See everything each package includes on our Ongoing Support Packages page. Setting up a new program? Start with our Starter Safety Manual Package ($1,995 + GST).
Ongoing support
Many employers already have a safety manual, forms, training records, inspections, hazard assessments, and procedures in place. The challenge is keeping everything current.
As the business changes, the safety program needs to change with it. New workers, new equipment, new clients, new worksites, audit requirements, incidents, inspections, and corrective actions can all create documentation and follow-up needs. And if no one is regularly reviewing the program, small gaps can build into larger problems.
Ongoing safety support helps employers keep the program active by reviewing records, updating controlled documents, following up on deficiencies and supporting supervisors. Documents and completed forms are only part of the evidence; implementation and effectiveness also need to be checked through worker and supervisor input, workplace observations, trends and follow-up.
Keep your safety program currentRecords, documents and follow-up reviewed regularly
Close the loop on corrective actionsPractical help when safety admin falls behindWhen to get help
Safety administration can fall behind quickly, even in companies that care about safety.
These issues create more than paperwork problems. They can affect productivity, client confidence, audit readiness, supervisor accountability, claims exposure, and due diligence if something goes wrong.
The purpose of safety program maintenance is to keep the system organized before it becomes difficult to manage.
Why it matters
A maintained safety program gives employers a clearer system to follow.
That matters during COR or SECOR preparation, client prequalification, regulatory inspections, incident reviews, and internal safety program reviews.
How we help
Calgary Safety Consultants provides practical OHS administration and safety program maintenance support based on the agreed jurisdiction, industry, work activities, hazards, sites and service scope. We confirm the regulatory and audit basis for work that depends on a specific legal or certifying-partner requirement.
Support can be provided as a one-time review, scheduled monthly support, quarterly check-ins, audit preparation support, or targeted help with specific documentation gaps.
Our support may include:
For employers who want these records in one place, we can also set up digital safety management with Site App Pro, so inspections, corrective actions and training records are completed and followed up in one system.
This support is designed to help employers stay organized without making the safety program overly complicated.
Some employers need regular monthly support. Others need a quarterly review or help before an audit, client submission, inspection, or major program update.
The goal is to keep your safety program current, usable, and connected to the work being performed.

Common questions
Find clear answers to common questions about our safety consulting, training, COR support, and OH&S program development services.
Safety program maintenance is the planned review, updating, implementation follow-up and effectiveness checking needed to keep a health and safety program current and useful. It may include controlled documents, hazard assessments, training and competency records, inspections, incidents, corrective actions, worker participation and supervisor follow-up. Incidents, legal or equipment changes, audit findings and ineffective controls can trigger an earlier review.
OHS administration support may include organizing records, checking training files, reviewing inspection forms, tracking corrective actions, updating controlled documents and preparing for audits. Administrative support does not transfer the employer’s legal duties or prove that workers are competent, controls are implemented or the program is effective.
Review frequency depends on the applicable legislation, certifying partner or audit protocol, contracts, manufacturer requirements, and changes in the work. As a practical management-system baseline, schedule a full program review at least annually and review affected elements sooner after changes to work activities, equipment, staffing or legislation; incidents; audit or inspection findings; worker concerns; or evidence that a control is not working. Monthly or quarterly reviews may be appropriate for higher-risk or rapidly changing operations.
Yes. We can review the agreed program and records, identify apparent gaps, organize evidence and support corrective-action tracking. Audit and certification outcomes remain with the authorized auditor and certifying partner. Where our advisory involvement affects independence, we identify the limitation and do not act as the official external auditor.
No. In many cases, we support owners, managers, supervisors, administrators, or internal safety coordinators by providing structure, documentation support, practical OH&S guidance, and an experienced external perspective. This can be useful for companies that do not need a full-time safety professional.
Yes. Program Check-In gives you quarterly reviews, starting at $300 a month. Monthly Safety Support gives you regular monthly help, starting at $1,200 a month. COR Maintenance Support is for COR and SECOR holders, starting at $1,800 a month. All prices are plus GST. We can also provide audit preparation or targeted help with specific documents, records or corrective actions.
That is common. We can review the materials and information provided, identify what appears useful or outdated, and build a prioritized improvement plan. The employer and knowledgeable workers still need to verify the program against actual work. Larger gaps, new hazards, legal review, engineering, occupational hygiene or other specialist work may require a separate scope.

Before you reach out
Ongoing safety support
Our ongoing support packages give you an experienced safety professional working on your program on a regular schedule, without the cost of a full-time hire.
We work with employers who want to improve. A safety program gets stronger when owners, managers and supervisors take an active part in it, not when it's handed to an outside consultant to run. We bring the structure, the expertise and the follow-up. You bring leadership, time and a commitment to act on what we find.
If you want someone to keep your binders up to date so you can stop thinking about safety, we're probably not the right fit. If you want a safer workplace, a program your workers trust and an audit you can walk into with confidence, we'd like to work with you. We'll talk about this openly during your free 30-minute consultation, so we both know the partnership is a good fit before any work begins.
As the employer, you keep your legal duties under OHS legislation. We advise, organize and support. You make the decisions and direct the work. Our support makes your supervisors, internal safety coordinator, and safety committee or representative more effective. It doesn't replace them.
Our support is not an emergency response service. If someone is seriously hurt or in danger, call 911 first, then make any reports your provincial OHS regulator requires. Once the scene is safe, contact us and we'll help you with next steps. Incident investigations are scoped and quoted separately.
We'll help you prepare for audits and stay audit-ready, but no consultant can guarantee certification. Because we help maintain your program, we can't act as your external auditor for audits of that program. That keeps your audit independent and credible.
Busy seasons happen, and we understand that. If sessions keep getting missed, records stop coming in or corrective actions stall, we'll raise it with you directly and work out a plan to get back on track. That might mean a different schedule or a package that better fits your capacity. If the commitment isn't there, we may recommend pausing or ending the service. We'd rather be upfront than take your money for work that isn't making your workplace safer.
You can move to a different package as your needs change. Changes and cancellations take effect 30 days after we receive written notice. Your price and the terms of your support are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
