Construction safety consulting that holds up on real Alberta job sites.

A safety program that works on paper isn't enough on a multi-crew, multi-site construction job. We help Alberta contractors make sure the system is actually working in the field — across supervisors, subs, and changing conditions.

Quick Answer

What does a construction safety consultant do?

A construction safety consultant works with general contractors, trades, and subcontractors to make sure the safety system is actually working in the field — across crews, supervisors, and changing job sites. That includes program development, COR support, OHS response, prime contractor coordination, and ongoing oversight.

Where does construction safety actually break down?

On a real Alberta job site, the program is rarely the problem on paper. The gap usually shows up in one of these places:

  • FLHAs that are too generic for the actual task and conditions
  • Supervisors interpreting the same standards differently across crews
  • Subcontractor compliance that's assumed rather than confirmed
  • Corrective actions that get assigned but not verified as completed
  • Documentation that doesn't reflect how the work is being done now

How to prepare for your COR audit in Alberta

What auditors actually check on construction sites — and where contractors fall short.

What do construction employers ask us most often?

Straightforward answers about construction safety consulting in Alberta.

A construction safety consultant works with general contractors, trades, and subcontractors to make sure the safety system is actually working in the field — across crews, supervisors, and changing job sites. That includes program development, COR support, OHS response, prime contractor coordination, and ongoing oversight.

No. Most of our work is with small to mid-sized Alberta contractors — the size where the safety program either holds up or starts to slip as crews and sites grow. Our approach scales from a few crews to multi-site operations.

On a multi-employer construction site, one prime contractor is generally responsible for coordinating safety across everyone on site under Alberta OHS. We help prime contractors set up coordination that's actually verified rather than assumed — and help subcontractors meet what's expected of them.

Just because a sub says they're compliant doesn't mean they are. We help confirm worker competency, training records, and field practice rather than relying on a signed declaration. Assumed compliance and confirmed compliance are two very different things when something goes wrong.

Yes — both COR and SECOR. Most Alberta construction work that's bid on requires a recognized safety certification. We help contractors prepare for the audit, transition between SECOR and COR as they grow, and keep certification current between audits.

We're based in Edmonton and work with construction employers across Alberta — Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, and the regions in between. Most engagements include site visits.
