A powerful, easy-to-use platform that helps prime contractors evaluate subcontractor safety programs and helps subcontractors demonstrate their commitment to workplace safety.
4 Steps to Simplified Subcontractor Safety Compliance
1-2
Project Setup & Information Gathering
Define the Project
The prime contractor links a specific subcontractor to a jobsite to begin an assessment.
Collect Safety Profile Data
The subcontractor is invited to complete questionnaires on their OHS program and high-risk work.
Upload Key Documents
Evidence like safety manuals, training certificates, and insurance are uploaded to the platform.

Assessment & Add Observations
Assess Compliance & Add Observations
The assessor reviews submissions, adjusts priorities, and adds site-specific findings.
Example: Fall Protection Gaps
A plan was flagged as 'Moderate Priority' for lacking site-specific anchor points and rescue details.

Reporting & Sharing
Generate & Share the Final Report
A secure online report with an access code is emailed to the subcontractor, providing a clear summary of compliance status and any outstanding items.
Secure Access Codes
Reports are protected with unique access codes, ensuring confidential compliance information is only viewed by authorized personnel.
Track Progress Over Time
Build a history of assessments to demonstrate continuous improvement in safety performance.
Why the Subcontractor Tool?
Under the BC Workers Compensation Act, prime contractors have a legal obligation to ensure the health and safety of all workers on their jobsites—including those employed by subcontractors. This means verifying that subcontractors have adequate OHS programs in place before they start work.
The Subcontractor OHS Compliance Tool was developed by the BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA) to make this process simpler, more consistent, and more efficient for everyone involved.
Save Time
Streamlined questionnaires and automated reports reduce administrative burden.
Demonstrate Due Diligence
Documented assessments show regulators you take safety seriously.
Identify Gaps
Pinpoint areas for improvement before they become incidents.
Build Trust
Create transparent safety relationships between primes and subs.
Who Is This For?
Prime Contractors
Create jobs, invite subcontractors, conduct assessments, and generate comprehensive compliance reports. Manage multiple jobsites and subcontractor relationships from a single dashboard.
Subcontractors
Complete OHS questionnaires, upload safety documentation, and receive clear feedback on your safety program. Use compliance reports to showcase your commitment to safety when bidding on new work.
