KNOW THE STANDARD.
Fall protection violations are consistently the most-cited health and safety violation in Canada. Most safety managers know their own province's rule. Very few know how it differs the moment work crosses a border.
We just published the complete 2026 breakdown:
✓ Alberta OHS Part 9 and the hierarchy of controls
✓ CSA Z259.10-18, Z259.2.5, and Z259.16-2021 — what each one governs
✓ Trigger heights compared across Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and federal jurisdiction
✓ Ontario's January 2026 amendments, including mandatory AEDs on high-work sites
✓ The 15-minute rescue window and why suspension trauma drives it
✓ Clearance calculation — the step most fall protection plans skip
If your crews work at height anywhere in Canada, this is required reading.

Five days. One question: could your crew get someone down?
Rope Rescue Operator runs Sept 14–18 at our Calgary facility. Five days, hands-on, NFPA-aligned, taught on real systems rather than a slide deck.
You'll leave able to build and operate a lowering system, rig a litter bridle, keep a patient level under load, run a mechanical advantage haul, and manage the edge transition that most teams get wrong.
It's built for industrial crews, municipal responders, and safety personnel who are named in a rescue plan and would like that to mean something.
APEX Rope Industries — 2922 3 Ave NE, Calgary, AB.
Seats are limited.

Confined Space Entry & Monitoring — Calgary, August 25. Seats are going.
Most confined space fatalities aren't the first person in. They're the ones who went in after — no training, no air, no plan. It takes minutes.
One day of training changes that. Hazard assessment, atmospheric testing and gas monitoring, entry permits, entry and attendant procedures, and emergency response — all covered, all in a day, all in Calgary.
Energy Safety Canada certified. Certificate upon completion.
If your crew has an entry scheduled this fall, get them booked before the 25th.

Two dates. One standard that never changes.
APEX Rope Industries is running Fall Protection Training on August 28 and September 11 in Calgary. The course covers CSA Z259-compliant fall arrest systems, anchor point selection, and rescue planning under the Alberta OHS Code.
If your crew works at height, this is the training that keeps them coming home. One full day, certified instructors, and the CSA Z259 detail your safety program needs, not a generic toolbox talk.
Seats are limited for both sessions. Register now to lock in your spot.

Your crew has a rescue plan. Can they execute it?

Three points of connection. Then two. Never fewer.
On a fixed horizontal aid climb, you work down from three connection points to two — and never below two. That is the discipline the whole traverse runs on, and it is the first thing we train.
APEX runs IRATA and SPRAT rope access certification in Calgary, AB — plus NFPA rope rescue, fall protection and confined space entry. Open enrolment dates and crew bookings: 🔗 https://itu0sq.short.gy/apex-fb-ep04
