Safety-first staffing for the trades that can't afford to get it wrong.
We recruit and place Construction Safety Officers, First Aid Attendants, Industrial Paramedics, and Safety Coordinators — backed by real site experience, not just resumes.
Reduce hiring risk with a 6-month contract-to-hire model.
SafetyFirst Recruitment employs and pays the worker while they're placed on your site for six months — giving you time to evaluate performance, fit, and reliability before making a permanent hiring decision. At the end of the term, they transition seamlessly onto your team.
See how it worksCertifications verified
Every credential is checked against the issuing body, not just taken at face value.
Employers screened too
We only place candidates with companies that pass our own safety-culture review.
Safety, not a checkbox
It's the whole business, not a line item — if a match doesn't meet the bar, it doesn't happen.

Founded by a Construction Safety Officer, not a recruiter.
SafetyFirst Recruitment was founded by Adam Strath, a ticketed Construction Safety Officer who has overseen site safety on major projects including Gordon Ramsay Steakhouse and Oakridge Park — working directly with trades and Superintendents to maintain WorkSafeBC compliance.
That firsthand experience is how we tell an average safety professional from an exceptional one.
