AgSafe

What AgSafe does

AgSafe BC is a non-profit health and safety association founded in 1993 and headquartered in Langley, British Columbia, operating as the official COR Certifying Partner designated by WorkSafeBC for BC's agricultural and associated industries. The organization provides workplace safety education, on-site consultation, human resources advisory, and mental wellness resources to agricultural producers and workers across British Columbia, serving a customer base segmented by employer size (small employers under 19 FTE and large employers 20+ FTE) across 24+ agricultural verticals including dairy, berry farming, vineyards, greenhouses, and ranching.

Its core offerings include the Certificate of Recognition (COR) certification program, on-site and online safety education courses (WHMIS, Lockout/Tagout, COR Internal Auditor Training), the WorkWell multilingual mobile app launched in July 2025 for Temporary Foreign Workers, and a Human Resource Toolkit launched in September 2025. Supporting infrastructure includes an online shop for physical safety resources (posters, signs, decals), a comprehensive document library, emergency planning resources, and a mental wellness program including the Mantengo initiative. Technology is centered on a multilingual digital platform supporting English, Punjabi, Spanish, Vietnamese, French, Chinese, and Korean.

The business model is non-profit and primarily funded through membership operations, government grants (including via IAF and Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction), and donations through the AgSafe Cares Foundation. Core services are provided free to BC Agriculture members, with revenue from paid training courses, physical resource sales, and possibly non-member fees. Distribution is conducted via field representatives stationed throughout BC, an online storefront, and community-based partnerships (notably with MOSAIC for Temporary Foreign Worker outreach).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• SAFE Work Manitoba: Manitoba's public-facing workplace safety organization promoting a province-wide safety culture through training and certification. Comparable to AgSafe as a provincial-level safety body but with a broader cross-sector mandate and different governance structure.
• Saskatchewan Workers' Compensation Board — Prevention Services: Saskatchewan's WCB operates prevention and safety services for employers in the province, including agricultural workplaces. Comparable as a regulator-adjacent OHS provider delivering training and certification, though structured as a Crown corporation rather than a non-profit association.

Others

• Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS): Federally funded national body providing OHS information, training resources, and tools to Canadian workplaces. Comparable to AgSafe as an OHS resource provider, but operating at a national cross-sector level rather than a province-specific, agriculture-specialized mandate.
• Employers' Forum on the Canadian Temporary Foreign Worker Program: Industry coalition focused on improving the TFW program in Canada, including the agricultural sector. Comparable to AgSafe on the TFW employer support dimension — particularly relevant given AgSafe's COR-for-TFW and WorkWell app offerings — but does not provide direct OHS training or certification.

Broad incumbents

• Workplace Safety North (WSN): Ontario's designated health and safety association for the forestry, mining, and pulp & paper sectors. Comparable as a regulator-designated, sector-specific OHS association offering training, COR-style certification, and on-site consultation services.
• Infrastructure Health & Safety Association (IHSA): Ontario-based health and safety association focused on the construction, electrical, and utilities sectors. Comparable as a designated OHS association providing training, COR-equivalent certification, and consulting, though operating in different verticals than AgSafe.
• Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS): Ontario's designated health and safety association serving agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors. Comparable as a province-level, regulator-recognized safety association delivering training, consulting, and COR-equivalent certification, but with a broader sector mandate than AgSafe's agriculture-only focus.

Direct peers

• Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA): National non-profit association promoting farm safety across Canada through training, resources, and advocacy. Directly comparable to AgSafe BC as a peer agricultural safety organization, with overlapping mandates in farm safety education and a similar non-profit, member-supported operating model.
• BC Forest Safety Council: BC's designated safety association for the forest sector, operating SAFE Certification as a COR-equivalent program. A direct peer and existing partner of AgSafe BC, with a comparable province-wide, regulator-designated OHS association model and COR-style certification infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Do More Ag Foundation: National Canadian charity focused on mental health awareness and support for the agricultural community. Directly comparable to AgSafe's mental wellness pillar (Mantengo, counselling) and overlapping in target audience, though without AgSafe's broader OHS mandate.
