Common questions
Alberta safety & compliance, answered
How do I lower my WCB premiums in Alberta?
Your WCB premiums are driven by your claims history and industry rate, so the most reliable way to bring them down is to reduce lost-time injuries and manage claims actively — proactive hazard controls, modified-work programs, and proper claim handling. According to Alberta WCB data, employers reported 44,575 accepted worker injury claims in a single tracking year, so the savings opportunity is real. As your fractional safety department, we put those controls in place and manage the claims for you.
What is required to pass a COR certification audit?
COR (Certificate of Recognition) requires a documented health & safety management system that meets your certifying partner's standard, plus evidence it's actually used — training records, hazard assessments, inspections, and incident investigations. An external auditor reviews all of it against a set benchmark. We build the program, get your documentation audit-ready, and prepare your team so the audit is a formality rather than a scramble.
Do I need a full-time safety officer for my Calgary business?
Usually not. A full-time safety hire costs $75k+ a year and is more capacity than most small-to-mid-sized companies need. A fractional safety department gives you senior expertise on demand — the same coverage without the salary, benefits, or management overhead — and scales up or down as your business changes.
How fast can you get our safety program up and running?
For accepted clients, we can start building your health & safety program within 30 days. We take the administrative load off your plate — developing protocols, training staff, and establishing compliance readiness — so you see momentum quickly instead of waiting months.
