Tools & resources
Tools that do the thinking with you.
Everything here is built to answer a real question — what training do I need, is this ticket valid, what will a crew cost. Plus the official BC references we work from.

B.C. first aid toolkit
Seven tools built on WSBC's first aid requirements: know your role, a written assessment builder, kit inspection and procedures, a certificate checker, a first aid record, and WSBC's videos and forms.
Open the toolkit →Ground disturbance toolkit (B.C. & Alberta)
Seven tools for anyone who digs: does it count as ground disturbance, the earliest legal dig date, locate colours and hand-expose zones, a trench slope calculator, line strike response, and GD 201 roles and certificates.
Open the toolkit →Fall protection system builder
Pick from 90 jobs, from roofs, steel and boom lifts to towers, tanks, rigs and confined spaces. Get the anchor, harness, connector and rescue that fit, with the clearance worked out and the B.C. law behind each choice.
Build a system →How long is my ticket good for?
How long H2S Alive, first aid, ground disturbance, fall protection, WHMIS, TDG, forklift and other tickets last in B.C. and Alberta, how to renew each one, and the source for every answer. Enter your course date to see when yours runs out.
Check a ticket →What is this ticket?
Plain answers on what H2S Alive, ground disturbance 201, OFA Level 1, CSO, CSTS, WHMIS, TDG, MEWP and other tickets are, who needs them in B.C. and Alberta, what they used to be called, and how they differ from the ones people mix them up with.
Look up a ticket →First aid course names explained
OFA Level 1, 2 and 3 became Basic, Intermediate and Advanced First Aid on November 1, 2024. See how the old and new names match, whether an old certificate still counts, and which course to take.
See the names →S-100 expiry calculator
Enter the date on your S-100 or S-100A certificate and see when it expires, whether the S-100A annual renewal is enough, and when the five-year limit means the full course again — by the BC Wildfire Service's 2026 standard.
Check my S-100 →Verify a certificate
Confirm any Alpha-issued credential in seconds. Enter the code or scan the QR to see who it was issued to, the course, and whether it's still valid.
