Contractor Safety Pack for Alberta
Safety Program, Forms and Toolbox Talks for Small Trades Contractors (Word + PDF)
The written safety program a general contractor asks a small Alberta trades contractor for, and the forms to run it every day. Start with the 7-day plan, or the "minimum you need this week to bid" list.
Is it for you?
Who it is for
Who it is for
- Small Alberta trades and construction contractors (for example electrical, mechanical, carpentry, drywall, roofing or renovation) who bid on work for general contractors and owners.
- Contractors who are asked for a safety manual, a hazard assessment, toolbox talk records or a prequalification questionnaire.
- Contractors starting on the road to a SECOR.
Who it is not for
- Oil and gas lease sites run under an energy operator's program. This pack helps, but it is not enough on its own.
- Asbestos abatement contractors, and crane and hoist rental or operating companies.
- Prime contractors that run large multi-trade sites (for example, 20 or more workers).
- Federally regulated work, unionized employers, and work outside Alberta.
Not approved by ACSA or any certifying partner. This pack is not approved, endorsed or reviewed by the Alberta Construction Safety Association or any certifying partner. Buying it does not give you a SECOR or a COR. Only a certifying partner and the Government of Alberta can issue those, after an audit.
What is inside
Everything in the download
Book 1: The Guide (144 PDF pages, 48 Law boxes). 43 short sections (0 to 42) in five parts:
- Before you start: your first 7 days, the minimum you need this week to bid, what a GC will ask for and which page answers it, and who to call.
- Part 1, win the work: prequalification, a questionnaire answered question by question, WCB-Alberta clearance letters and insurance certificates, and incident statistics (TRIF, LTIF, worker-hours).
- Part 2, your company safety manual: policy, roles, rights, fair discipline, worker involvement, violence and harassment on job sites, primes and subcontractors, fitness for work, and records.
- Part 3, find and control hazards: formal hazard assessments, field-level hazard assessments (FLHA), safe work practices, safe job procedures, fall protection, PPE and hearing, chemicals and silica, tools and vehicles, and working alone.
- Part 4, run the site: site emergency plans, first aid, orientation, training, toolbox talks, inspections, incidents and corrective actions.
- Part 5, certification and reference: the road to SECOR, a self-audit, the year at a glance, mistakes that cost contractors work, a glossary and a table of the laws.
Worked examples follow one made-up company, Ridgeline Electrical Ltd., an 8-person contractor.

This kit is general information and sample wording for small Alberta contractors. It is not legal advice and does not replace a lawyer. We are not a law firm, and the kit was not written or reviewed by one. Each kit shows when to call a lawyer before you act. Read the full Not Legal Advice page.
Want the general safety program too? This pack stands alone. The Alberta Safety Starter Kit ($159, sold separately) covers committees, violence and harassment and incident reporting in more depth. The Contractor Safety Pack is not part of the Complete Starter Bundle.
