Safety Ahead Ltd.

A leading provider of positive, practical safety solutions!

Safety Ahead offers a wide variety of services designed to assist companies with developing and maintaining an effective health and safety management system. Whether you are a new company just starting out or whether you have an established safety program that could maybe use a little improvement or upgrading. Safety Ahead can offer many beneficial services including:

Corporate Health and Safety Programs (Manuals)

Safety Ahead prides itself in developing safety programs that meet the individual needs of the company. Every program is tailored to your company’s specific scope of work activities and processes. We involve the company in every step of the development process to ensure that the program is suitable for the company and that management is involved in the initial set-up of the program. This shows the company that management is invested in the health and safety of their workers. Safety Ahead has worked with a wide variety of industries including construction, oil and gas, medical, home automation and many more. Safety Ahead has ensured to cover all the current legislative requirements, including the consolidated violence and harassment prevention plan requirements effective March 31, 2025. So if you think your existing program may need an update to include these new legislative requirements, then give us a call!

Site Safety Services

Safety Ahead offers site safety services including assistance with completing site safety inspections, developing/conducting company and site specific orientations, conducting safety meetings, completing incident investigations and worker training. Safety Ahead can also work in conjunction with your current safety officer/representative to ensure that the safety management system is running smoothly and effectively.

External COR Audits

Allan Head is the President of Safety Ahead and is a certified Consultant COR Auditor with more than 10 years of experience. Allan has performed External COR audits for a wide variety of companies both large and small. We understand how overwhelming getting an audit done can be so we personally guide you through every step of the audit including requesting the audit, completing the site assessment, and we’ll provide information during the audit and close-out to ensure that you are informed throughout the entire process.

Safety Admin

Safety Ahead has recently become the only Alberta distributor for Safety Admin! Safety Admin is a web based health and safety program used to streamline company safety documentation and processes. Safety Admin is as versatile as it is easy to use, access it anytime, anyplace right from your desktop, tablet/iPad, or directly from your cell phone. This feature makes it easy to conduct inspections, meetings, hazard assessments right from the field. It also helps ensure that important information or action items are not lost or forgotten as you can record them from your cell phone right away!

Safety in a Box

The Safety in a Box ™ system is a user friendly starter kit that allows companies of all sizes to cover key safety requirements in a practical, easy way. It can help you streamline your processes and ensure that your safety program is functioning efficiently while maintaining the safe and healthy work environment that you want for your employees. Safety in a Box™ helps companies understand and meet their health, safety and legal obligations as well as mitigate potential liabilities. All of the materials have been developed for maximum simplicity and ease of use, even a beginner can use it successfully. It is a blueprint for a complete Safety Program.

Safety in a Box™ includes the following items:

  • Log Books, Folding Cards and NCR Booklets including Field Level Hazard Assessments, Caution Cards, Daily Pre-Job Tailgate Meeting, Site Safety Inspection, Tool Box Safety Meeting, Equipment Operator’s Daily Log/Pre-Use Inspection and many more!

Safety Training

Safety Ahead has developed many different training materials to provide our clients with informative, relevant information that assists companies in achieving and maintaining safety compliance.

The Site Supervisor Safety Management Program is a two day training program covering all aspects of construction safety through two concentrated days. This program gives supervisors the systems-based foundation, leadership, confidence and skills required to effectively manage their sites.

Safety Ahead also conducts Joint Health and Safety Committee/Safety Representative training to assist companies that are required to have a JHSC/Rep in ensuring that their committee members/rep’s are trained in their respective roles and responsibilities. Since the training of JHSC members and reps is a legislative requirement, this ensures that your company complies with Alberta legislation.
