PRE-WORK ORIENTATION RECORD FOR EVERY SUBCONTRACTOR ON SITE
What you get
- A fillable PDF - every checkbox, contact field, and signature line is a real form field, typed or handwritten
- Company contact and WCB details up front, so the record identifies exactly who was oriented and which company they represent
- A nine-item Company Orientation checklist (safety program, general rules, reporting, subcontractor responsibilities, hazard assessments, environmental and drug/alcohol policy, PPE, first aid)
- A six-item Subcontractor Site Orientation checklist specific to the job site itself (site layout, required PPE, hazard assessments, emergency response, tailgate meetings, first aid/fire equipment locations)
- A four-line comments section and a two-signature sign-off - the orientator and the subcontractor representative
- Your company logo added to the form, at no extra charge
How to fill it out and keep it. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or a desktop browser like Chrome or Edge, then use that program's own Save or Download button, not just closing the tab, so your entries are kept in the saved copy. On a phone, most PDF apps will let you view the form but not type into it - fill it out on a computer, or print it and use a pen.

Why crews use it
- Splitting company-level orientation from site-specific orientation means a subcontractor working across multiple job sites has a clear record of what was covered where
- Two signatures - the person delivering the orientation and the subcontractor receiving it - means the record can't be disputed as one-sided after the fact
- The WCB number field on the same page as the orientation record keeps the paperwork a general contractor needs in one place, not scattered across separate intake forms
- A completed, signed copy is exactly what a general contractor or prime's safety representative asks to see before letting a subcontractor's crew start work
Built for
- General contractors and prime contractors bringing subcontractor crews onto an active site
- Safety coordinators standardising subcontractor onboarding across multiple projects
- Companies in construction, oil and gas, and industrial sectors with a documented subcontractor management program
Why it matters
A subcontractor crew that starts work without a documented orientation is a due-diligence gap that surfaces at the worst possible time - after an incident, when someone asks who told them about the hazard, the PPE requirement, or the emergency plan. Two checklists and two signatures turn 'we always orient subs' into a specific, dated record for the specific crew on the specific site.

Common questions
Before you buy
What people ask us about the Subcontractor Orientation Form.
What is the Subcontractor Orientation Form used for?
Subcontractor Orientation Form for Canadian worksites. Editable Word format - add your company name, logo, and site-specific details to customise in minutes. Written to satisfy Canadian OHS regulatory requirements. Audit-ready layout with all required fields and signatures. Instant download after purchase. It is written for Canadian workplaces and formatted so it can go straight into your safety program.
Is it editable, or print-ready only?
It is supplied in an editable format, so you can add your company name, adjust the wording to match how your crews actually work, and issue it under your own program.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
What format is it, and when do I get it?
It is a digital download available immediately after checkout, and you can print as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
