Alberta
OH&S Support for Alberta Employers
Alberta employers often manage safety across very different work environments. A company may have office staff in Calgary, field crews near Fort McMurray, service technicians in Grande Prairie, warehouse staff in Edmonton, or project work across smaller communities and remote locations.
That kind of work needs more than a generic safety manual. Employers need safety documents, training records, inspections, hazard assessments, incident reporting processes, and corrective action systems that match the actual work being done.
Calgary Safety Consultants helps Alberta employers strengthen their occupational health and safety systems in a way that is clear, practical, and usable by managers, supervisors, and workers.

Safety that works at the site levelInspections, hazard assessments and follow-up that stickWhat we do
Safety Support That Matches Alberta Worksites
Safety requirements may be managed at the company level, but the work is carried out at the site level. That is where many safety programs start to break down.
A safety manual may say the right things, but if supervisors do not know what records to complete, workers are not trained on the real hazards, inspections are inconsistent, or corrective actions are not followed up, the program can create risk instead of reducing it.
We support employers across Alberta with practical OH&S consulting that can apply to offices, shops, warehouses, construction projects, industrial sites, field service work, transportation operations, maintenance work, and rural or remote worksites.
The goal is to help your safety program work in real conditions, not just sit in a binder or digital folder.
Experience
Why Experience Matters in Workplace Safety
A weak safety program can affect more than compliance. It can slow down work, create confusion for supervisors, increase claims exposure, weaken audit performance, and make it harder to meet client or contractor requirements.
When safety documents are outdated or too generic, workers may not understand what is expected. When hazard assessments are incomplete, controls may not match the work. When inspections and corrective actions are not tracked, the same issues can keep coming back. When training records are disorganized, employers may struggle to show due diligence during an audit, client review, or regulatory inspection.
Practical safety support helps employers close those gaps. It gives managers and supervisors a clearer system to follow, helps workers understand the hazards and controls that apply to their jobs, and gives the company better documentation when questions are asked later.
Alberta rules
Alberta OH&S Requirements Employers Should Know
In Alberta, workplace health and safety is governed by the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the OHS Regulation, and the OHS Code. Alberta OHS enforces the rules, and WCB-Alberta provides workers’ compensation insurance.
- Hazard assessments: Employers must assess the work site and identify existing and potential hazards before work begins, prepare a written hazard assessment, involve affected workers, and eliminate or control the hazards. Our guide to conducting a job hazard analysis shows how this works in practice.
- Health and safety committees and representatives: Employers with 20 or more regularly employed workers must establish a joint health and safety committee. Employers with 5 to 19 must designate a health and safety representative.
- Health and safety programs: Employers that regularly employ 20 or more workers must establish a health and safety program.
- Incident reporting and investigation: Serious injuries, serious incidents, and potentially serious incidents must be reported to Alberta OHS and investigated, and the investigation report must be kept for at least two years. See our guides to investigating a workplace incident, root cause analysis and near-miss reporting.
- Fall protection: Part 9 of the OHS Code requires fall protection where a worker may fall 3 metres or more, and in other higher-risk situations. Our 100% tie-off guide explains the rules.
- COR and SECOR: Alberta’s Certificate of Recognition program runs through Partnerships in Injury Reduction, with certifying partners delivering the audits and training. See our COR certification support in Alberta page.
We help Alberta employers put these requirements into practice: setting up committees or representatives, building hazard assessments that match the work, and keeping the records that show the program is working. For the official requirements, see Alberta’s guidance on health and safety committees and representatives and the OHS Code, Part 2.

Common questions
Alberta Safety Consulting FAQs
Find clear answers to common questions about our safety consulting, training, COR support, and OH&S program development services.
Do you provide safety consulting support across Alberta?
Yes. Calgary Safety Consultants supports employers across Alberta, including Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, and rural or remote worksites. Support may be provided through a combination of remote consulting, document review, meetings, training support, and on-site services where appropriate.
What types of Alberta employers do you help?
We work with Alberta employers in construction and the trades, oil and gas, manufacturing and industrial maintenance, transportation and warehousing, agriculture and agri-food, healthcare and community care, hospitality and retail, property management, and renewable energy. Many are small and mid-sized businesses that need practical help with safety manuals, COR or SECOR readiness, hazard assessments, training records, and audits without a full-time safety department.
Can you help with COR or SECOR support in Alberta?
Yes. We can help Alberta employers review their current safety program, identify gaps, organize documentation, prepare for audit requirements, update safety manuals, review training records, and improve the systems needed to maintain audit readiness. COR or SECOR support should be based on the employer’s certifying partner, current program status, workforce, and audit timeline. See our COR certification support in Alberta page for packages and published prices.
Can you help if our Alberta safety manual is outdated?
Yes. An outdated safety manual can create problems if it no longer reflects your actual work, equipment, hazards, procedures, workers, or client requirements. We can review your existing manual, identify what is missing or unclear, and help update the document so it better supports compliance, supervisor use, training, inspections, and due diligence.
Do you help with hazard assessments, JHAs, and inspections?
Yes. We can help Alberta employers develop or improve hazard assessments, job hazard analyses, workplace inspection processes, corrective action tracking, and related documentation. The focus is to make these tools practical enough for supervisors and workers to use, not just documents that exist for an audit.
Can you support rural or remote Alberta worksites?
Yes. Rural and remote worksites often need clear planning because access, supervision, emergency response, communication, travel, contractors, and changing field conditions can create additional safety management challenges. We can help employers build practical documents and processes that reflect those conditions.
When does an Alberta workplace need a health and safety committee?
Employers with 20 or more regularly employed workers must establish a joint health and safety committee. Employers with 5 to 19 regularly employed workers must designate a health and safety representative. Employers that regularly employ 20 or more workers must also establish a health and safety program.
What should we do before contacting a safety consultant?
Gather your current safety manual, policies, training records, inspection forms, hazard assessments, incident reports, audit findings, client safety requirements, and any regulatory correspondence you have. If those records are incomplete, that is fine. A consultation can help identify what exists, what is missing, and what should be addressed first.

We had a great experience and subscribed for ongoing OH&S services. Best choice we made for our business and our staff.
John was great to work with! I was having trouble finding someone to help us perform an audit of our warehouses for OHS compliance and came across Calgary Safety Consultants – exactly what we were looking for! John visited our 3 sites and delivered a very comprehensive report for us to use – all in a very timely and professional manner.
