Incident investigation

Why do Central Alberta contractors choose Safety Ahead?

Red Deer sits at the centre of Alberta's industrial corridor. Contractors based here often work across the province — north to Fort McMurray, south to Calgary, and everywhere in between. That kind of multi-site operation needs safety leadership that travels with the work, not just paperwork that sits in a binder.

Safety Ahead is a senior-led Safety Leadership Team anchored by Allan Head — 48+ years in Alberta construction and safety — with advisors who work across the province on your sites. We understand how Central Alberta contractors actually operate, and we structure engagements to match that reality.

  • COR and SECOR program build & certification prep — ACSA, Energy Safety Canada, and other Certifying Partners
  • OHS order response and compliance support
  • Fractional HSE management for Central Alberta contractors
  • Incident investigation and root cause analysis
  • Contractor prequalification — ISNetworld, Avetta, ComplyWorks
  • Safety program development and maintenance
  • WCB claims management and experience rating support
  • Supervisor competency and worker orientation programs

"Red Deer contractors often work across the province. Our engagement model is built for that — structured remote work between visits, and on-site time planned against what the work actually needs."

Allan Head — CHSC · NCSO · Certified COR Auditor

What do Red Deer and Central Alberta contractors ask us most often?

Construction, trades, oil and gas service, agriculture-adjacent industries, manufacturing, transportation, and other employers operating in Central Alberta. Red Deer is a hub for contractors working across the province — our engagement model is built for that kind of multi-site operation.

Yes. COR certification is a common requirement for contractors working with municipalities, major operators, and general contractors across Central Alberta. We help you prepare for the external audit, close findings, and maintain certification between audit cycles.

Yes. If a serious incident has occurred — or if OHS is already involved — we can help with the investigation, root cause analysis, corrective action plan, and OHS reporting requirements. Incident investigation is time-sensitive; contact us as soon as possible.
