About Us

Real-World
Experience
Not Just Theory

Pinnacle Safety and Training is a Calgary-based mobile training service that travels directly to your worksite. Founded by Craig Friesen, our service is built on hands-on expertise from over 15 years in heavy equipment operation, firefighting, and emergency response.

We are trained to meet operators where they are — adapting instruction to individual experience levels and ensuring every trainee reaches a documented standard of competency before operating independently.

Legal Obligations

OH&S Compliance
Is Not Optional

Under the Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Act, employers have a clear legal duty to ensure workers are trained, competent, and supervised when operating equipment.

Failing to comply can result in:

  • Stop-work orders issued by Alberta OH&S officers
  • Fines of up to $500,000 per violation for employers
  • Personal liability for supervisors and owners
  • Regulatory scrutiny following any workplace incident
  • Reputational damage and civil liability exposure
  • Higher WCB experience-rated premiums
