HCSAS: A BIS Authorized Partner

Heavy Construction Safety Association of Saskatchewan (HCSAS), based in Regina, has established itself as a crucial provider of safety training for high-risk industries, especially those involved in ground-breaking work, such as digging, demolition, paving, and trenching. The organization also serves clients in highline electrical work and sewer services, helping companies meet strict safety standards and achieve the Safety Certification of Recognition (COR).

Comprehensive Safety Training Solutions

HCSAS offers a variety of safety training programs tailored to the needs of high-risk industries. A significant aspect of their services includes auditor training, which prepares company staff to anticipate audit requirements, empowering businesses to maintain high safety standards independently.

Their programs are primarily conducted in-person at locations in Regina and Saskatoon, offering hands-on classroom training over two days, followed by practical testing handled on-site by the companies themselves. While the majority of their training remains in-person, HCSAS has incorporated online components for specific courses, allowing participants to complete some hours remotely.

Proud to Partner with HCSAS

HCSAS partnership with BIS Safety Software is rooted in a shared mission to enhance safety and efficiency. By integrating BIS’s digital platform, HCSAS has been able to modernize its approach and continue its vital work in high-risk industries. We are proud to support HCSAS in their mission to provide top-tier safety training across Canada.

A Seamless Partnership with BIS Safety Software

Before partnering with BIS Safety Software, HCSAS relied on a paper-based system called Calvin to manage training records and enrollments. This manual process required significant time and effort, with staff often printing and mailing documents and handling nearly all registrations manually.

The adoption of BIS Safety Software’s digital platform has been transformative for HCSAS. The digital transition has streamlined operations, enabling employees to use laptops or mobile devices to enroll staff from the field. This shift has freed up time for the HCSAS team to focus on providing more direct support to their clients, rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks.

More about the Heavy Construction Safety Association of Saskatchewan Inc.

HCSAS serves a diverse client base, from major organizations to smaller road paving companies and heavy equipment dealers. Their flag training program, designed for roadside workers, is especially popular among clients in the paving and construction sectors. Although based in Regina, HCSAS’s certifications are recognized across Canada, allowing companies from different provinces to access transferable safety credentials.

Looking ahead, HCSAS envisions a future where safety processes are even more streamlined with the adoption of new technologies. Kelly expressed hope for a transition to QR code-based systems that could enable on-site access to training and safety resources with just a scan, much like airport-style boarding passes. “I see it becoming even more digital, like everything will be on a phone, and you’ll just scan it at a worksite,” she said​.

HCSAS’s training programs are specifically designed to address the unique challenges of high-risk industries, including trenching, demolition, highline electrical work, and sewer services, ensuring that workers in these fields adhere to the highest safety standards.
