Ask anyone on site what the fall protection height is in Alberta, and you will hear 3 metres. That answer is incomplete.

Alberta OHS Code section 139(1) sets four triggers for fall protection, and three of them can apply below 3 metres. The one missed most often: at a permanent work area, protection is required from more than 1.2 metres.

1.2 metres is a mezzanine edge or a loading dock, not a tower. It is exactly the kind of height nobody writes a hazard assessment for.

If your program is built around the number 3 and nothing else, it is built on one quarter of the section.

APEX runs Fall Protection training in Calgary to the Alberta OHS Code standard.

GOAL ZERO. EVERYONE GOES HOME.

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.

GOAL ZERO. EVERYONE GOES HOME.

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.

GOAL ZERO. EVERYONE GOES HOME.

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.
