Running industrial and trades operations in BC means balancing safety requirements, evolving employment laws, and the day-to-day realities of managing crews. I created this set of HR tools and templates to give BC employers practical documents they can use right away. Everything here is built for real industrial workplaces. Straightforward. Clear. And designed to help supervisors and leaders stay consistent on the jobsite.
These are the same links, checklists, and guides I use when supporting mills, trades shops, forestry operations, and industrial employers across BC. Everything here is simple, direct, and focused on real world application.
