Health & Safety Management Systems for Alberta Employers
SafetyWise helps Alberta employers design, implement, and maintain effective health and safety management systems aligned with Alberta Occupational Health and Safety legislation, COR, and SECOR requirements. We provide practical documentation, implementation support, and audit-readiness guidance tailored to real Alberta operations.
We understand Alberta’s health and safety obligations — and how to apply them in practice
Safety Systems
We support Alberta employers in developing hazard assessments, safe work practices, and emergency response plans aligned with the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Act, Regulation, and Code. Our focus is on due diligence, worker participation, and consistent hazard control across day-to-day operations.
Ongoing Compliance
Health and safety compliance in Alberta is ongoing. We design management systems that are maintainable, auditable, and scalable — supporting implementation, documentation updates, internal reviews, and certification readiness as operations change.
Program Quality
Effective health and safety programs rely on clear documentation, defined responsibilities, and measurable processes. Our structured approach to COR and SECOR-aligned systems supports audit readiness, contractor prequalification, and continuous improvement without unnecessary administrative burden.
Services
Providing exceptional safety services and insight from the start.
Our Alberta services support employer health and safety obligations while aligning with COR, SECOR, and common contractor prequalification requirements.
Understanding Alberta’s Health & Safety Framework
Alberta employers are required to establish and maintain health and safety management systems that comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Regulation, and Code. These requirements extend beyond basic policies and require documented hazard assessments, worker participation, defined responsibilities, and ongoing review processes.
SafetyWise supports Alberta organizations by helping them interpret legislative requirements and translate them into practical, auditable management systems. Our approach focuses on due diligence, consistency, and documentation that aligns with how work is actually performed in the field.
Building COR and SECOR-Aligned Safety Programs
Many Alberta employers pursue COR or SECOR certification to meet client, contractor, or prequalification requirements. These programs require structured health and safety management systems supported by documented processes, training records, and internal review mechanisms.
We assist Alberta organizations in developing COR and SECOR-aligned systems that are scalable, proportionate to the size of the operation, and prepared for audit review. Our role is to support system development and implementation readiness—not to assume operational control of workplace safety.
Health & Safety Management Systems From Documentation to Implementation
A safety program is only effective when it is understood and applied consistently. Alberta OHS legislation places clear responsibility on employers, supervisors, and workers to participate in hazard identification and control.
SafetyWise provides implementation coaching, document walkthroughs, and structured guidance to support internal deployment of health and safety management systems. This includes support for hazard assessments, safe work practices, emergency response planning, and internal review processes that reinforce due diligence.
Maintaining Audit Readiness Over Time
Health and safety systems require ongoing review to remain effective and compliant. Changes to work activities, personnel, equipment, or legislation can all trigger the need for updates.
We support Alberta employers with periodic system reviews, internal audit preparation, and documentation updates to help maintain audit readiness and certification requirements over time. This structured approach supports continuous improvement while minimizing unnecessary administrative burden.
Frequently asked questions
No. Certification and audit outcomes depend on how the program is implemented and maintained by the organization. We provide the management system, guidance, and audit-readiness support—but the employer retains responsibility for accuracy, implementation, and ongoing compliance.
Both are health and safety certification programs. SECOR is generally designed for smaller employers and a narrower scope, while COR is a broader certification with more extensive program and audit requirements. We help you select the appropriate pathway based on your operations and client requirements.
Timelines vary based on company size, existing documentation, and availability for reviews. Most builds move fastest when leadership is engaged and a single point of contact can provide operational details, approve drafts, and coordinate implementation internally.
Yes—provided we can collaborate with ownership and key personnel to understand how work is performed, what hazards exist, and what controls are used. The system must reflect real operations to be effective and audit-ready.
Yes. We can support documentation preparation and administrative setup for platforms such as ComplyWorks, Avetta, ISNetworld (ISN), and similar systems, including organizing records and aligning documents with typical prequalification requirements.
Yes. We can help digitize forms and workflows and, where appropriate, develop custom solutions to streamline program administration and recordkeeping.
