SECOR Evaluation Prep

A scoped review of the records and completed SECOR evaluation you provide before submission. We identify apparent evidence, organization and evaluation gaps against the agreed current certifying-partner tool. The service does not complete or submit the evaluation, verify field implementation or guarantee certification.

Every review is led by John Duplessis, B.Sc., CRSP, a Canadian Registered Safety Professional, certified COR auditor and Energy Safety Canada external auditor. For Alberta Construction Safety Association applicants, we confirm the current requirements against the ACSA SECOR process; other certifying partners use their own eligibility, training, evidence and submission rules.

What’s included

A Scoped SECOR Evaluation Prep Review Before You Submit

We review the materials provided against the agreed current tool and identify where further records, clarification, interviews, observations or certifying-partner direction may be needed.

Records review

We sample the health and safety records you provide. ACSA currently requires at least three months of documentation after the system is implemented; completed forms alone do not prove that controls are understood, applied or effective.

Evaluation review

We review the completed evaluation you provide for unsupported answers, weak evidence, missing documents and internal inconsistencies. The assessor and employer remain responsible for the evaluation and submission.

Written findings

A list prioritized first for legal duties and higher-risk control concerns, then for significant evidence, evaluation and submission gaps.

Submission check

For ACSA work, we check organization and labelling against its current submission instructions. The employer and assessor confirm the final tool, attachments and submission method before sending.

Pricing

What Your Price Covers

  • The starting price of $999 plus GST covers one small employer.
  • Site visits and extra work, such as rewriting documents, are quoted separately.
  • We confirm your price in writing before any work begins.

How it works

From Records to Submission

Build your records

Implement the health and safety management system and build objective evidence over time. ACSA currently requires at least three months of health and safety documentation before the SECOR evaluation; confirm current rules with the certifying partner.

Complete your evaluation

Your authorized assessor completes the SECOR evaluation and meets the current training, ethics and conflict-of-interest requirements set by the certifying partner.

Send it to us

Send us your evaluation and records before you submit.

We review

We review the agreed materials and sample, record limitations or unresolved evidence, and send written findings. A remote review cannot verify conditions, awareness or implementation at unobserved workplaces.

Fix and submit

The employer and assessor decide how to address the findings, verify corrections and submit through the certifying partner’s required process.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does SECOR evaluation prep cost?

It starts at $999 plus GST for one small employer. Site visits and extra work are quoted separately, in writing, before any work begins.

Do you complete the evaluation for us?

No. The prep review covers the agreed records and completed evaluation before submission. The authorized assessor and employer retain responsibility. With ACSA, the assessor must hold the required Principles of Health and Safety Management training, and the employer must separately meet the current full-time-employee training requirements.

When should we book it?

Once you have at least three months of health and safety documentation, and before you submit. With ACSA, three months is the minimum.

We bought the Starter Safety Manual Package. Is this the next step?

It may be the next step after the employer has reviewed and approved the package, consulted workers, completed required training, implemented the system and built sufficient records. With ACSA, at least three months of health and safety documentation is currently required before the SECOR evaluation.

Does this guarantee we’ll get SECOR?

No. Certification decisions belong to the certifying partner and depend on eligibility, training, implementation, evidence and the completed evaluation. Our review is limited to the agreed materials and sample. Every formal document we deliver carries our stated errors-and-omissions warranty; additional corrective work is scoped separately unless the warranty applies.

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.
