Practical OH&S consulting, safety manuals, COR support, safety training, hazard assessments, and compliance help for employers in Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan.

Summary Content

Calgary Safety Consultants helps employers build, improve, and maintain practical workplace health and safety systems. We support businesses that need clear safety manuals, COR support, safety training, hazard assessments, inspections, incident investigation guidance, and ongoing OH&S compliance support.

Our focus is simple: make safety easier to understand, easier to manage, and easier to apply in real workplaces.

Whether you are building a safety program from the ground up, preparing for COR, responding to compliance gaps, or trying to bring outdated documentation back in line with daily operations, we help you move from uncertainty to a clear plan of action.

Who We Are

Who We Are

Calgary Safety Consultants is an occupational health and safety consulting company based in Calgary and serving employers across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. We work with small and mid-sized businesses that need practical safety support without unnecessary complexity.

Our work is led by John Duplessis, an experienced OH&S consultant with more than 30 years of health and safety experience across workplace safety, compliance support, safety program development, audits, training, emergency planning, and operational risk management.

We understand that most employers are not looking for a binder full of generic policies. They need a safety system that reflects the work they actually do, the hazards their workers actually face, and the compliance expectations they are required to meet.

That is where we help.

What We Help Employers With

Employers contact Calgary Safety Consultants when they need clear, practical help with workplace safety requirements. In many cases, the issue is not that the employer does not care about safety. The issue is that the safety program has become outdated, disconnected from the work, or difficult for supervisors and workers to use.

We help with:

  • Custom workplace safety manuals and OH&S program development.
  • COR and SECOR support, including gap reviews, audit preparation, corrective action planning, and program maintenance.
  • Safety training, including online, virtual, and customized workplace-specific training.
  • Hazard assessments, job hazard assessments, safe work practices, and safe job procedures.
  • Workplace inspections, incident investigation processes, and corrective action tracking.
  • Regulatory compliance support for Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan employers.
  • Ongoing safety program maintenance for businesses that need regular help keeping documentation, training, inspections, and records current.

The goal is not to create paperwork for the sake of paperwork. The goal is to give employers a usable system that helps reduce risk, support supervisors, protect workers, and improve audit and compliance performance.

Why Employers Choose Calgary Safety Consultants

Why Employers Choose Calgary Safety Consultants

Many employers come to us because they are overwhelmed by safety requirements or unsure whether their current program would hold up during an audit, client review, incident response, or regulatory inspection.

Our approach is practical. We look at how the work is actually being performed, what hazards are present, what documentation exists, what training has been completed, and where the biggest gaps are. Then we help build a realistic path forward.

Employers choose Calgary Safety Consultants because we provide:

  • Plain-language safety documentation that is easier for supervisors and workers to understand.
  • Customized safety manuals instead of generic templates that do not match the business.
  • Practical compliance support that connects legal requirements to day-to-day operations.
  • COR and audit support focused on closing real gaps before they become larger problems.
  • Flexible support for employers that do not need a full-time safety person but still need reliable OH&S guidance.
  • A business-minded approach that recognizes safety affects productivity, claims, client requirements, insurance, contracts, and operational continuity.

Strong safety systems help employers do more than meet minimum compliance. They help reduce confusion, improve consistency, support due diligence, and prevent small issues from becoming costly incidents, stop-work situations, claims, or failed audits.

Our Approach to Workplace Safety

Our Approach to Workplace Safety

We believe safety should be clear, practical, and connected to the work.

A safety manual should not sit untouched in a folder. Training should not be treated as a one-time formality. Inspections should not be completed just to check a box. Corrective actions should not remain open for months without follow-up.

When safety systems are disconnected from operations, employers lose visibility. Hazards get missed. Supervisors become uncertain. Workers receive inconsistent direction. Records become hard to defend during an audit or investigation.

Our approach focuses on four practical steps:

  • First, we identify what the employer already has in place.
  • Second, we compare the existing program against legal requirements, audit expectations, client requirements, and the actual work being performed.
  • Third, we build or update the required documents, forms, procedures, training, and tracking systems.
  • Fourth, we help the employer understand how to maintain the system so it keeps working after the initial project is complete.

This creates a stronger connection between documentation, supervision, worker participation, hazard control, training, inspections, investigations, and continuous improvement.

Services That Support Your Safety Program

Services That Support Your Safety Program

Calgary Safety Consultants provides a range of OH&S services that can be used individually or combined into a more complete support plan.

Customized Safety Manuals

We develop and update safety manuals that reflect your industry, tasks, hazards, workforce, and jurisdictional requirements. A customized safety manual gives employers a stronger foundation for compliance, training, inspections, hazard control, and audit readiness.

COR Consulting and Audit Support

We help employers prepare for COR and SECOR by reviewing their current program, identifying gaps, supporting corrective actions, and strengthening documentation before audit time. This helps reduce surprises and improves confidence during the audit process.

Safety Training

We offer online, virtual, and customized safety training to help workers, supervisors, and managers understand their responsibilities. Training can support WHMIS, TDG, PPE, inspections, incident investigations, supervisor safety responsibilities, respectful workplace requirements, and other workplace-specific needs.

Safety Program Maintenance

We help employers keep their safety program current through document reviews, compliance checks, inspection support, corrective action tracking, training record reviews, and ongoing safety advisory support.

Hazard Assessments and Safe Work Procedures

We help employers identify hazards, assess risk, select controls, and create practical safe work practices and safe job procedures that support real tasks and real workplace conditions.

 

Industries We Support

Calgary Safety Consultants supports employers across a range of industries and workplace environments. Our clients often include companies that need practical safety systems but do not have the internal time, resources, or expertise to manage every OH&S requirement on their own.

We commonly support employers in:

  • Construction and trades.
  • Manufacturing and fabrication.
  • Transportation and logistics.
  • Property management and condominium operations.
  • Oil and gas service companies.
  • Small and mid-sized businesses.
  • Warehousing, distribution, and field service operations.
  • Professional and office-based employers that need practical compliance support.

Every workplace is different. A good safety program should reflect the work, the workforce, the hazards, and the level of risk. That is why we focus on practical customization rather than generic documentation.

Where We Provide OH&S Consulting

Where We Provide OH&S Consulting

Calgary Safety Consultants is based in Calgary and supports employers across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.

We provide services remotely, virtually, and in person when required. This allows employers to access professional safety support whether they need a full safety manual, a focused gap review, training support, COR preparation, or ongoing compliance help.

Primary service areas include:

  • Calgary.
  • Edmonton.
  • Red Deer.
  • Lethbridge.
  • Medicine Hat.
  • Fort McMurray.
  • Grande Prairie.
  • Vancouver and other BC locations.
  • Saskatoon, Regina, and other Saskatchewan locations.

For many employers, virtual support is enough to complete document reviews, safety manual development, training coordination, compliance planning, and audit preparation. When site-specific review or in-person support is needed, we can discuss the best approach based on your location and project scope.

When to Contact Calgary Safety Consultants

When to Contact Calgary Safety Consultants

You may benefit from professional OH&S consulting support if:

  • Your safety manual is outdated, generic, or not aligned with your current work.
  • You are preparing for COR, SECOR, a client audit, or a compliance review.
  • You have open corrective actions that are not being tracked to completion.
  • Your supervisors are unsure how to apply the safety program.
  • Your hazard assessments, inspections, or training records are incomplete.
  • You received an OHS order or need help responding to regulatory concerns.
  • You are growing and need a more organized safety system.
  • You want practical support without hiring a full-time safety professional.

Safety gaps usually become more expensive when they are ignored. A missing inspection record, weak hazard assessment, incomplete training file, or outdated procedure may seem minor until there is an audit, incident, claim, client review, or regulatory inspection.

The earlier those gaps are corrected, the easier they are to manage.

A Practical Partner for Workplace Safety Compliance

Calgary Safety Consultants helps employers turn safety requirements into clear actions. We do not believe safety has to be confusing, overly academic, or disconnected from the work.

A strong safety program should help workers understand hazards, help supervisors make better decisions, help managers track responsibilities, and help employers demonstrate due diligence when it matters most.

If your safety program needs to be built, repaired, updated, reviewed, or maintained, we can help you create a system that is easier to use and easier to defend.
