AFPA can assist your team by creating, developing and implementing your health and safety management system for compliance. You do not have to be in the Partnership program to benefit from our health & safety courses (public or in-house) and our services! There is no reason why you cannot enjoy the value and benefits of good safety training. Raise morale and lower your lost-time claims rate! You can save money on lost time, property damage and injuries that result from accidents.

AFPA also provides critical supporting safety program documents, such as:
- Emergency Response Plans

- Investigations

When completed, usually four to six months including implementation, you will have: a formal, recognized H&S program in place, a company H&S manual, and USB stick with the entire program and would be well positioned to attain the COR safety designation for your organization.
