Summary Content

We work with employers in construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and service industries to develop practical safety systems that meet Alberta OHS legislation while improving day-to-day operations.

Whether you need COR audit preparation, a complete safety program, or online training for your workforce, our services are designed to support compliance, reduce risk, and strengthen workplace safety performance.

Workplace Safety Requirements in Alberta

Alberta has one of the most structured occupational health and safety systems in Canada, with clear expectations for employers to identify hazards, implement controls, and ensure workers are properly trained.

Under Alberta occupational health and safety legislation, employers are required to:

  • Develop and maintain a workplace safety program
  • Conduct hazard assessments and implement controls
  • Provide training and supervision to workers
  • Investigate incidents and take corrective action

In many industries, businesses also pursue COR (Certificate of Recognition) certification to demonstrate compliance, improve safety performance, and qualify for contract work.

COR Certification and Audit Support in Alberta

COR certification is widely recognized across Alberta as a standard for effective safety management systems, particularly in construction and industrial sectors.

Achieving and maintaining COR requires documented safety programs, consistent implementation, and successful completion of internal and external audits.

Calgary Safety Consultants supports Alberta businesses through every stage of the COR process, including:

  • COR readiness assessments and gap analysis
  • Safety program development aligned with COR standards
  • Audit preparation and documentation support
  • Internal COR audits
  • Ongoing maintenance and continuous improvement

Our approach focuses on building systems that work in practice, not just on paper, ensuring your organization is prepared for audits and real-world operations.
