HAZARD CONTROL.
RISK MITIGATED.
WORKERS PROTECTED.
Effective height safety is an engineering and management discipline — not a checkbox exercise. Stronghold applies a systematic hazard identification and risk control methodology to every engagement, working through the hierarchy of controls to eliminate, substitute, or engineer out fall hazards before administrative measures and PPE are ever considered. Every service we deliver is grounded in BC OHS Regulation compliance, CSA Z259 standards, and a technical understanding of the forces, failure modes, and human factors that make working at height one of the highest-risk activities in any industry.
Training built around your workplace, your hazards, your people
Customised Safety Training
No two worksites are the same — so why settle for generic, off-the-shelf training? Every Stronghold training program is developed from the ground up around your specific workplace, the tasks your workers perform, and the actual fall hazards they face every day. We conduct a pre-training site assessment, identify the relevant hazards and equipment in use, and build a program that speaks directly to your team's reality. Training is delivered on-site using your own equipment and anchor systems, so workers leave with practical skills they can apply immediately — not theory from a classroom that doesn't match their job.
- Pre-training site hazard assessment included
- Content tailored to your specific tasks, equipment & anchor systems
- WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation Part 11 compliant
- Covers fall arrest, restraint, and work positioning systems
- Qualified Person & Authorized User certification pathways
- Rescue planning and emergency response built into every program
- Ladder safety, elevated platforms & temporary work surfaces
- Refresher and recertification programs available
Annual third-party equipment inspections
Gear Inspection Services
Annual third-party equipment inspections give you peace of mind, ensuring every piece of gear is in safe working order and compliant with regulatory requirements. WorkSafe BC requires regular inspections of fall protection gear, rigging, lifting devices, and ladders. Let Stronghold Safety Strategies take care of it, saving you time, money, and hassle.
WHY CHOOSE STRONGHOLD?
- Trusted third-party verification to reduce liability
- Detailed reports — both printed and digital — for compliance with all regulatory bodies
- Expert inspectors with industry knowledge and experience
- Cost-effective safety: early detection prevents costly failures
Daily site checks are still required, but Stronghold inspections provide a stronger layer of assurance that your equipment is safe, compliant, and ready to perform.

HOW WE
WORK.
Effective risk mitigation is a structured process, not a one-off visit. Our four-phase methodology ensures every hazard is identified, every control is engineered and verified, and every worker is trained and documented — leaving nothing to chance.
Site Assessment
Every engagement begins with a thorough on-site assessment. We walk your worksite, identify all tasks performed at height, review existing systems and anchor points, and document the full scope of fall hazards present — before any recommendations are made.
Hazard Identification & Risk Rating
Each identified hazard is assessed against the likelihood and severity of a fall event. We apply a structured risk rating process aligned with WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation requirements, producing a prioritised hazard register that drives all subsequent control decisions.
Control Implementation
Working through the hierarchy of controls, we develop and implement site-specific solutions — from elimination and engineering controls such as guardrails and anchor systems, through to administrative procedures and compliant PPE selection. Every control is documented, tested, and verified against CSA Z259 standards.
Training & Documentation
Controls only work when workers understand them. We deliver customised, site-specific training for every implemented system, certify workers to WorkSafeBC Qualified Person and Authorized User standards, and provide complete documentation packages for your compliance records.
