Manage apprentice hours
& crew compliance.
Stop tracking safety records out of truck gloveboxes. Reclaim control over paper logbooks, lapsed safety tickets, and the stress of ACSA audits with a platform designed for local trades.
Never per-user. Flat predictable billing.
81%overall.Stillafail.
COR certification requires 80% overall and every element above 50%. A generic safety app shows you the average and calls it good.
Top Hand encodes the actual Alberta regulation directly into your dashboard, preventing blind spots before the auditor arrives.
Where the money
actually leaks.
Paper logs and generic spreadsheets let critical requirements slip.
This is what is costing Alberta contractors time, worker retention, and thousands in lost WCB premium rebates.
Apprentice Hours & Blue Books
Paper record books go missing, get damaged in toolboxes, or lie unsubmitted. Late uploads to MyTradesecrets delay period advancements, leading to frustrated crew members and scheduling bottlenecks.
Missed uploads & blown training periods
COR/SECOR Audit Scramble
Scrambling to pull together safety records, toolbox talks, and hazard assessments when the ACSA auditor calls. A single missing signature can compromise your Certificate of Recognition.
Missing sign-offs & lost WCB rebates
Silent Certification Expiries
Safety tickets (Fall Protection, CSTS, First Aid) expire silently. Discovering a worker has a lapsed ticket on a prime contractor's site leads to immediate shutdowns, safety infractions, or worse.
Lapsed tickets caught at the worst time
The Blueprint for
Predictable Compliance.
We replaced administrative chaos with a structural system. Three pillars that guarantee you are always ready for the auditor.
Automated Ticket & Compliance Tracking
Never let a safety ticket expire unnoticed again. Top Hand automatically cross-references your worker roster against required certifications, providing a centralized dashboard that highlights expiring and missing tickets.
- Automated alerts 30, 14, and 3 days before expiry
- Centralized matrix tracking all tickets across all sites
Audit Readiness: Live COR Checklist
Stop digging through filing cabinets when the ACSA auditor calls. Top Hand digitalizes the core elements of the Alberta COR/SECOR framework, giving you a live dashboard that maps directly to audit expectations.
- Live scoring identifies compliance gaps early
- Organized repository built to ACSA specifications
Critical: Below 50% threshold. Action required.
Mobile-First Field Submissions
Eliminate administration backlogs. Workers on site use a simple, mobile-optimized portal to submit their daily apprentice hours and snap photos of new training tickets. No app downloads required.
- Frictionless hour submissions direct from smartphones
- Instant photo uploads for blue book pages
Set up by the
people who built it.
No implementation fee. No six-week onboarding. You provide the mess, we provide the engine.
We audit what you have
A free 20-minute call, then a written Compliance Snapshot: every cert expiring in the next 90 days, where each apprentice stands in their period, and your readiness scored against the ACSA document list.
The Top Hand Edge
Generic apps hand you a login and wish you luck. We act as your compliance partner from day one to ensure you know exactly where you stand.
We build your system
Your workers, certs, hours, and documents go into one place — set up for you, not handed over as an empty app with a login.
The Top Hand Edge
You do not spend weeks doing data entry. Our team migrates your paper mess into a structured digital engine for you.
It warns you before it hurts
Cert expiries at 90/60/30 days. Period-close warnings before the deadline, not after. A Monday morning digest so nothing lands on you at 9pm on a Tuesday.
The Top Hand Edge
While others offer passive databases, Top Hand actively defends your COR standing by predicting failures before they happen.

Why this, and not
the other guys.
Alberta-Native
AIT, MyTradesecrets, the STAE Act, ACSA elements, WCB PIR rebates. Not a global safety platform with a Canada checkbox. This was built specifically for the regulations governing this province.
Built by an Engineer
Embedded-systems and energy-infrastructure background. You talk to the person who writes the code — not a support tier.
Hablamos Español
Compliance conversations, onboarding, and your assessment call in Spanish or English. Built natively for Latin-American-owned trades businesses in Calgary — not a translation plugin.
Flat Per Business
Add an apprentice without adding a seat. Every per-user safety platform charges you a penalty for growing your crew; this one does not.
Pricing, published.
Add an apprentice without adding a seat.
The Early Adopter Trade
The first shops on board get one tier's scope at the next tier down's price, locked for 24 months. In exchange: honest feedback, a case study, and an intro to someone else who deals with this. That is the whole trade.
