Overview
Providing Edmonton Safety Consultants to Support Your Business
Edmonton employers often manage a wide range of workplace safety needs, from construction and trades to manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, field services, public-facing operations, and office-based work. Each workplace has different risks, but every employer needs a safety system that can be understood, used, and maintained. That is why we provide Edmonton safety consultants.
We support Edmonton businesses that need help building, reviewing, or improving their occupational health and safety programs. This may include updating written procedures, improving hazard assessments, preparing for COR or SECOR, reviewing inspection records, supporting incident investigations, or helping employers respond to workplace safety concerns.
A safety program should not exist only to satisfy a client request, audit requirement, or regulatory expectation. It should help supervisors plan the work, workers understand the hazards, and managers confirm that safety responsibilities are being completed.
For many Edmonton employers, the challenge is not a complete lack of safety documentation. The issue is that the documentation may be outdated, too generic, incomplete, or difficult to apply in the field. When that happens, employers can face problems during audits, client prequalification, OHS inspections, incident reviews, and routine operations.
Our role is to help make safety easier to manage without making the system unnecessarily complicated.
Practical support
Edmonton Safety Consultants can Support Your Local Worksites
Safety support works best when it reflects the worksite, the workers, the hazards, and the pace of the business.
In Edmonton, employers may be managing construction projects, industrial maintenance, manufacturing, fabrication, warehousing, logistics, transportation, energy-related services, facility operations, administrative workplaces, or contractor-based work. A safety program must be practical enough for supervisors and workers to use, while still supporting compliance, due diligence, and business requirements.
A generic safety manual may create a starting point, but it will not always help a supervisor complete a useful inspection, guide a worker through a hazard assessment, or support an employer after an incident. When the safety system is too broad, workers may not follow it consistently, supervisors may not know what records are expected, and managers may not have confidence that the program will hold up during an audit or review.
Our Edmonton safety consulting support focuses on making safety systems usable. That means clear expectations, practical forms, realistic procedures, and documentation that supports the way work is planned, supervised, and completed.
When to call
When to Hire Safety Consultants in Edmonton
Most Edmonton employers bring in safety consultants when a deadline, a client requirement, or a change in the business puts their safety program under pressure.
- An OHS inspection, order, or complaint: you need a clear, documented response and corrective actions that hold up. See our OHS regulatory support.
- Client prequalification: a general contractor or facility owner asks for a written safety program, hazard assessments, training records, or safety statistics before you can bid or start work.
- Crossing the 5 or 20 worker mark: Alberta employers with 5 to 19 regularly employed workers need a health and safety representative, and employers with 20 or more need a joint health and safety committee and a health and safety program.
- COR or SECOR readiness: program development, gap reviews, and audit preparation before your audit with a Certifying Partner. See our COR and SECOR support.
- After a serious incident: help with the investigation, root causes, and corrective actions. See our incident investigation support.
- A new project or new type of work: hazard assessments and safe work procedures that fit the job before it starts.
Whichever applies, the first step is the same: a free 30-minute consultation to look at where your safety program stands and what needs attention first.

Alberta rules
Alberta OH&S Requirements for Edmonton Employers
Edmonton employers follow Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety Act, OHS Regulation and OHS Code. Alberta OHS enforces the rules, and WCB-Alberta provides workers’ compensation coverage.
- Health and safety program: Employers with 20 or more regularly employed workers must have a health and safety program.
- Joint health and safety committee: Employers with 20 or more regularly employed workers must establish a joint health and safety committee.
- Health and safety representative: Employers with 5 to 19 regularly employed workers must designate a health and safety representative.
- COR: Alberta COR and SECOR are earned through Certifying Partners, and certified employers in good standing can be eligible for WCB-Alberta Partnerships in Injury Reduction (PIR) refunds. See our COR and SECOR support page for how it works.
We help Edmonton employers build programs that meet these requirements, set up committees or representatives, and prepare for COR. For the official requirements, see the Government of Alberta’s guidance on health and safety programs and joint health and safety committees and representatives.

Do you provide ongoing monthly safety support?
Yes. Ongoing OH&S support is available for employers that need regular help with documentation, inspections, investigations, meetings, training records, corrective actions, audit preparation, or safety administration. This can help reduce backlog and improve consistency across the safety program.
Can you help after an OHS inspection, order, complaint, or incident?
Yes. We can help employers organize the response, review documentation, identify corrective actions, prepare written materials, and improve the safety system so the issue is addressed properly.

What clients say
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.
We loved working with this company. They really got us out of a jam after a visit from Alberta OH&S.
