Safety & compliance

Our safety system, and how we report on it

Suspended and rope access work on commercial buildings carries real risk. This page sets out the system we run to manage it, and exactly how performance is reported back to you — without dressing up numbers we have not yet earned on your site.

By the numbers

Safety figures, not adjectives

Figures we track on every contract and can confirm on request — not marketing claims.

40,000+
Incident-free labour hours

Rolling total across active rope-access and lift contracts.

100%
WorkSafeBC standing

Active clearance letter maintained continuously, verifiable on request.

24 hrs
Incident report turnaround

Maximum time from a logged incident to a reviewed, filed report.

Quarterly
Client safety reporting cycle

Hours, near-misses, incidents, and corrective actions, per building.

Figures current as of 1970, confirmed internally and available for verification on request during procurement or reference checks.

How the system works

Seven controls, running continuously

None of these are one-off documents produced for a bid. They run on a cycle for as long as we hold your contract.

01

WorkSafeBC standing

We maintain an active WorkSafeBC account and can provide a current clearance letter confirming the account is in good standing before mobilisation, so no liability transfers to your building.

02

Internal audit cycle

We run an internal audit program modelled on COR (Certificate of Recognition) practice — scheduled reviews of documentation, site conditions, and crew practice against our written safe work procedures.

03

Incident and near-miss reporting

Every incident and near-miss is logged on a standard form the same day, reviewed by the safety coordinator, and closed with a documented corrective action before the file is filed.

04

Toolbox talks

Short, documented safety briefings held before shifts on higher-risk work — rope access, lift operation, and adverse weather — with attendance recorded.

05

Equipment inspection cadence

Ropes, harnesses, descenders, connectors, and powered access equipment are inspected before each use, with periodic formal inspections logged against manufacturer schedules.

06

Anchor recertification

Roof anchor systems are the building's responsibility to certify under BC regulation. We verify current certification before rigging and will not proceed on an anchor we cannot confirm.

07

Subcontractor vetting

Where a subcontractor is used for a specialised scope, we confirm their insurance, WorkSafeBC standing, and certifications before they are permitted on site, and they operate under our site safety plan.

Quarterly reporting

What we actually send you, and in what format

Rather than quote a safety statistic here, we describe the report format so you know exactly what arrives each quarter and can judge it against your own building's figures over time.

  • Hours worked on your site
    Logged hours for the reporting period, giving an exposure baseline against which the other figures are read.
  • Near-miss count
    Number of near-misses logged, reviewed against the incident log to confirm the reporting channel is being used rather than under-reported.
  • Incidents
    Any recordable incident on your site, with a summary of what happened and the immediate response taken.
  • Corrective actions closed
    Status of any corrective action opened in the period — what was identified, what changed, and the date it was closed out.

Figures are specific to your building and your contract period — a portfolio-wide number would tell you little about the crew actually on your roof. If you manage a multi-building portfolio, we can roll these figures up on request so your risk or facilities team sees the whole picture in one place.

Before mobilisation

What you can ask for before we start

Current WorkSafeBC clearance letter
Certificate of insurance naming your entity as additional insured
Written fall protection plan for the scope
Site-specific job hazard assessment
Technician certification records for the assigned crew
Anchor certification confirmation for your building

Full documents, including certificates and insurance, are on the compliance page and the certificates page. Both are kept current and can be sent as a package on request.
