Why it matters
of base assessment premiums is what WorkSafeBC uses to calculate the COR incentive for certified employers who meet the program conditions.
Source: WorkSafeBC, COR incentives ↗No profile, no site access
Mines, mills, utilities and industrial owners screen contractors through prequalification registries. An expired document or a missing program can take you off the bid list.
The paperwork never stops
Programs need annual review, COR and SAFE audits come around every year, and registry questions change. Most small firms don't have a safety coordinator to keep up with it. That's the gap we fill.
Services
Start where you are. Step up when you're ready.

Your SAFE audit, handled month by month
Island logging, falling, silviculture and trucking outfits face a SAFE audit every year. For most small companies the owner builds it at night, a few weeks before it's due. We keep the file current all year so audit time is a review, not a scramble.
A SAFE audit is due on your certification anniversary date.
Needed to pass a small-employer audit. Under 70% is sent back for full resubmission.
Typical BC Forest Safety Council review time after you submit.
Lead time to book an external auditor for a BASE audit.
ISEBASE & SEBASE (2–19 workers)
You or a permanent employee sign the audit. We keep your meetings, inspections, orientations and maintenance records filed every month and build the audit package before the due date.
BASE (20+ workers)
We get your evidence organized and your crew ready for interviews before the external auditor arrives, and help you book early.
Recertification year
Recert audits must be submitted before your certificate expires. We start early so there is room to fix gaps.

Who it's for
Built for firms with a crew, not a safety department
Our clients are owner-operated contractors, from logging and falling crews to trades and site services, that want to keep their certification and bid bigger work. The owner is usually the one doing the safety paperwork at night.
If you've been asked for a COR number, a registry grade or a copy of your safety program and didn't have a good answer, start with a gap review.
