Fewer incidents and claims
Workers who understand your specific hazards and controls make better decisions on the job, which protects people and helps keep claim costs down.
Custom Safety Training Built Around Your Workplace
Your workers don’t need another generic safety course. Our custom safety training is built from your own hazards, procedures and policies, so your people learn the safe work practices they’re actually expected to follow.
We develop company-specific training for employers across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, then deliver it the way your operation works best: PowerPoint presentations with participant handouts, narrated training videos, or online training hosted on our learning platform.
Why it matters
Why Custom Safety Training Matters
Off-the-shelf training covers the general rules, and it has its place. But it can’t show a new hire which valve gets locked out on your packaging line, where your muster point is, or how your company completes a field-level hazard assessment.
Occupational health and safety legislation in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan expects employers to make sure workers are trained in the hazards of their work and the safe work procedures that control them. Training built around your own operation closes the gap between what the law expects and what a generic course can deliver.
Faster, more consistent onboarding
Every new worker hears the same clear message, whether a supervisor delivers it in person or the training runs online.
Stronger audit outcomes
Training tied to your program elements helps workers explain your processes during COR and SECOR audit interviews, and gives you clear training records to show your auditor.
Better use of your safety program
A safety manual only works when people know what’s in it. Custom training puts your policies, procedures and forms in front of the people who use them every day.
A typical example: A growing contractor has a solid safety manual, but new hires sit through a generic orientation and learn the company’s real procedures informally on site. We turn the manual’s key procedures into a short, branded training program with a handout and knowledge check, so every worker hears the same expectations on day one and the company has a training record to show for it.
Training duties are set out in each province’s legislation, including Alberta’s OHS Act, Regulation and Code, Part 3 of WorkSafeBC’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation and Saskatchewan’s training of workers requirements. We reference the rules that apply where your people work.

Delivery formats
Three Ways to Deliver Your Training
Every package starts with training content built from your safety program. From there, you choose how it reaches your people.
PowerPoint and handout
A professionally designed, company-branded presentation with speaker notes, so your supervisors or safety coordinator can deliver the training with confidence.
- Branded PowerPoint with speaker notes
- Participant handout workers keep
- Knowledge check and training sign-off sheet
Best for: in-person orientations, safety meetings and supervisor-led training.
Narrated training video
Your training produced as a narrated video, with realistic workplace images and the same clear delivery every time it plays.
- Finished video file for your company’s use
- Ready for orientations, internal systems or a tablet at site
- One consistent message across shifts and sites
Best for: multiple sites, shifts and new-hire start dates.
Online training hosting
Your training set up as a private online course on the Calgary Safety Consultants learning platform. Workers complete the lessons and knowledge checks at their own pace and receive a certificate when they finish.
- Private, company-only course access
- Certificates and completion records
- Year-to-year licence, separate from development
Best for: remote workers, mobile crews and spread-out teams.
Mix and match: Many companies combine formats, such as a PowerPoint for classroom orientations and a video for workers who start mid-week.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is custom safety training?
It’s workplace safety training developed from your own safety program, so it covers your specific hazards, procedures, sites and expectations instead of general rules alone.
How is custom training different from your online courses?
Our online courses cover general topics that apply to many workplaces. Custom training is built from your own program, so your workers learn the procedures and expectations that apply at your company.
How much does custom safety training cost?
The Basic Package starts at $1,499 plus GST for one training topic in PowerPoint and handout format. Larger programs, added topics and video or online versions are quoted after a free 30-minute consultation, and we confirm your price in writing before any work begins.
Can you build training from our existing safety manual and procedures?
Yes, and that’s usually the best starting point. We turn the key parts of your manual, hazard assessments and safe work procedures into training your workers can follow and remember.
Is online hosting included in the development price?
No. Development is a one-time fee, and online hosting is a separate annual licence. You only pay for hosting if you want your training delivered online.
What happens if we don’t renew the hosting licence?
Your online course is taken offline at the end of the licence year. Before that happens, we provide your completion records so your training history stays on file.
Who owns the finished training materials?
You can use the delivered PowerPoint, handout and video files within your company for as long as you need them. The details are set out in your agreement.
Can our supervisors deliver the training themselves?
Yes. The PowerPoint format includes speaker notes, so a supervisor or safety coordinator can deliver it confidently without being a professional trainer.
Can custom training help with COR or SECOR?
It can support your audit preparation. Training tied to your program elements helps workers explain your processes during audit interviews and gives you clear training records. Certification decisions rest with your certifying partner and the audit itself.
How long does development take?
It depends on the scope and the formats you choose. Your proposal includes a timeline, and we confirm it once we have your manual and procedures in hand.
Do you develop training in French?
We develop training in English, including content that meets Quebec requirements. If you need a French version, we recommend a third-party translation service, arranged outside your agreement with us.
Do you work with companies outside Alberta?
Yes. We develop custom training for employers across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, and we reference the legislation that applies where your people work.
