Scope
Built for Basic Sites
This package is for workplaces where the main emergencies are fires, medical events, severe weather and evacuations.
Basic-site scope. This package does not cover specialized energy, pipeline or infrastructure plans, including plans governed by Alberta Energy Regulator Directive 071. A basic-site plan must still be validated against the applicable OHS, fire and building code, occupancy, municipal, landlord or client and site-specific requirements. We quote complex or specialized planning separately.
- The starting price of $1,250 plus GST covers one basic site.
- More sites or a site visit raise the price.
- We confirm your price in writing before any work begins.

Validate, approve and deliver
The employer, knowledgeable workers and responsible building or site contacts verify routes, muster points, alarms, emergency equipment, contacts, assistance needs and procedures in the actual workplace. We make the agreed changes and deliver the files for the employer’s approval.
Train and test
The employer trains affected workers and runs exercises or drills at the frequency required by the applicable law, fire or building code, occupancy, client requirements and workplace hazards. Results and corrective actions should be recorded and used to update the plan.

Before you reach out
Quick answers about working with us
- Which areas do you serve?
- Calgary Safety Consultants is a Western Canadian health and safety consulting firm. We support employers across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, on site and online.
- Who will we work with?
- Projects are led by John Duplessis, B.Sc., CRSP, President and Principal Health & Safety Consultant, who has more than 30 years of occupational health and safety experience. He is a Canadian Registered Safety Professional, a certified COR auditor, an Energy Safety Canada external auditor and a member of Health and Safety Professionals Canada and the Alberta Society of Health and Safety Professionals.
- How do we get started?
- Book a free 30-minute consultation on our calendar, call 1-888-231-0358, or use the form below. We talk through your situation first, then send a written scope and quote before any work begins.
- What does it cost?
- Our Starter Safety Manual Package, recommended for SECOR, is $1,995 plus GST, and Custom Safety Training built from your own procedures starts at $1,499 plus GST. Online courses are priced per learner, starting at $24.99, and 10% comes off automatically at checkout when you buy 10 or more seats of the same course. Other consulting is quoted per project after a free 30-minute consultation, so you know the scope and cost before any work begins. See all our packages and prices.
- Do you work with small businesses?
- Yes. Many of our clients are small and mid-sized employers without a full-time safety department, including contractors, manufacturers, non-profits and clinics.
- Can you help with COR, audits and training too?
- Yes. We conduct COR audits and help with COR and SECOR preparation, safety manuals, hazard assessments, compliance audits, emergency response plans, incident investigations and contractor prequalification in ISNetworld, Avetta and ComplyWorks. We also offer online courses including WHMIS, TDG and OH&S leadership, and custom safety training built around your own hazards and procedures. We can’t guarantee that you’ll obtain COR or SECOR, but we stand behind our work: every formal document we deliver carries a 60-day errors and omissions warranty, and our COR and SECOR program builds include a documentation warranty through your first audit or evaluation within 12 months of delivery.
How we work together
A Partnership, Not a Hand-Off
We work with employers who want to improve. The best results come when owners, managers and supervisors take an active part in the work, rather than handing it to an outside consultant and waiting for a finished binder. We bring the expertise, the structure and the follow-up. You bring leadership, time and a commitment to act on what we find.
If you only want paperwork that sits on a shelf, 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 it's a good fit before any work begins.
What We Commit To
- Direct access to a senior professional. John Duplessis, B.Sc., CRSP, leads every engagement himself, from the first conversation to final delivery.
- Quick replies. We answer emails and calls within 2 to 4 hours during business hours, or by the next business day after hours and on weekends. Every client question matters to us, and we treat it that way.
- A written scope and price first. You know what's included and what it costs before any work begins, and nothing outside that scope goes ahead without your written approval.
- Work built for your operation. Practical, plain-language deliverables that fit your work and your province's legislation, not a generic template.
- Clear timelines. We agree on delivery dates at kickoff and tell you early if anything puts them at risk.
- Confidentiality. We handle your records, incident details and worker information as set out in our Privacy Policy.
What We Need From You
- Leadership involvement. An owner or senior manager stays involved from kickoff to final review, approves the work and backs the changes. Workers can tell whether leadership means it, and so can auditors.
- A main contact with time and authority. Someone who can make decisions, get answers and keep things moving on your side.
- Complete, honest information. Your documents and records, and a true picture of how the work is really done, including near misses, shortcuts and what isn't working.
- Hands-on participation. Your supervisors and workers take part in interviews, site walks, hazard assessments and reviews. A program your people help shape is a program they'll use.
- Timely review and sign-off. You review drafts, give feedback and approve documents within the timeframes we agree on.
- Follow-through. You put the recommendations into practice and keep the records that show your program is in use.
Your Legal Responsibilities Stay With You
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 work makes your supervisors, internal safety coordinator, and safety committee or representative more effective. It doesn't replace them.
Timelines Depend on Both of Us
Our delivery dates start at project kickoff and assume your information, feedback and approvals arrive when agreed. If they're delayed, the schedule moves with them. If a project stalls, we'll raise it with you directly and agree on a plan to get it back on track, or pause it until you're ready.
Straight Answers, No False Promises
We'll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Audit, certification and inspection decisions belong to your certifying partner or regulator, so no consultant can guarantee the outcome. What we can promise is practical, credible work and honest advice about what it will take.
Our services are 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.
