Continuing Care Safety Association

What Continuing Care Safety Association does

Continuing Care Safety Association (CCSA) is a non-profit, membership-based safety association headquartered at 225 Parsons Rd SW in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It serves employers in three tightly clustered Alberta sectors — continuing care, seniors' supportive living, and children and family services — and operates as the designated Certifying Partner for Alberta's Certificate of Recognition (COR) program within those sectors. In 2025, the association reported 122 COR-Certified Members who collectively earned approximately $3.83M in rebates, indicating that certification status carries a direct, material financial benefit for member organizations.

CCSA's product surface is broader than certification alone. It spans COR certification and PIR, training delivered both OnDemand and Instructor-Led, a Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention (MIP) program, Safety Talks, Abilities Management, a Health & Safety Program Toolkit, Psychological Health & Safety, Emergency Response Resources, a Resource Library, and member-facing events including OHS Forums, Drop-In Hours, and regional meetings scheduled across multiple Alberta cities in 2026. The portfolio is built around occupational health and safety content, training, and community engagement rather than software or technology platforms.

The business model is recurring membership dues supplemented by training and event revenue; pricing is not publicly disclosed. CCSA is privately organized as a non-profit with no parent entity, no external funding rounds disclosed, and no headcount information available. Its operating footprint is confined to the province of Alberta.

Direct peers

• SafeCare BC: Health care safety association serving British Columbia's continuing care sector. Most directly comparable peer to CCSA — same customer vertical (continuing care/seniors' living), same safety training and certification mandate, with provincial scope instead of Alberta.
• Energy Safety Canada: Canada's safety association for the oil and gas sector. Comparable operating model — designated certifying partner for a sector, delivers COR certification, training programs, and member resources — though serving energy rather than continuing care.
• Alberta Construction Safety Association: Alberta's designated Certifying Partner for the construction sector. Closest comparable peer to CCSA — operates the identical COR certification model, delivers training and resources to industry members, and uses a community-led, membership-based GTM in a different Alberta vertical.
• SAFE Work Manitoba: Manitoba's workplace health and safety association and Certifying Partner. Comparable peer to CCSA — provides COR certification, training, and safety resources to Manitoba employers across multiple verticals with a similar member-based delivery model.
• Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS): Ontario's largest health and safety association, providing training, consulting, and resources to employers. Directly comparable to CCSA's training and resource delivery model, though at much larger scale and across multiple sectors rather than a single vertical focus.
• Nova Scotia Health and Safety Association: Designated Certifying Partner for Nova Scotia, offering COR certification, training, and member services. Comparable peer model to CCSA — provincial certifying partner with recurring membership and training revenue across multiple sectors.

Regional players

• BC Care Providers Association: Membership association representing continuing care operators in British Columbia. Adjacent to CCSA — serves the same customer vertical (continuing care operators) but focuses on advocacy and operator representation rather than workplace safety certification and training.

Broad incumbents

• Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS): Canada's national occupational health and safety body. Broader scope than CCSA — operates federally rather than provincially, and doesn't hold sector-specific Certifying Partner status, but provides comparable training, resources, and safety program frameworks across all industries.

Others

• Workers' Compensation Board of Alberta (WCB-Alberta): Alberta's workers' compensation regulator. Indirect peer to CCSA — administers the rebate incentive structure that drives demand for CCSA's COR certification, but operates as a government regulator rather than a private certifying partner.
• Continuing Care Association of Alberta: Industry association representing Alberta continuing care operators. Overlapping customer base with CCSA but distinct function — represents operator interests, advocacy, and policy rather than safety certification and training.
