What safety certifications does your industrial painting crew hold?

Our crew holds Painter and Decorator Certification, WHMIS, Fall Protection, Confined Space Entry, Lead Safety (RRP), and WCB coverage. All of these are required for industrial environments, and we maintain current credentials for every team member who steps onto a job site.

Painter and Decorator Certification

Our painters hold trade certification through Alberta's apprenticeship and industry training system. This is not a weekend course. It represents thousands of hours of supervised work covering surface preparation, coating application, safety protocols, and product knowledge specific to industrial and commercial environments. Certified painters understand how different substrates react to coatings, how environmental conditions affect cure times, and how to achieve the film thickness specifications that industrial projects demand.

WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System)

Industrial coatings involve solvents, catalysts, and chemical compounds that require proper handling. Every member of our crew carries current WHMIS certification, which means they can read Safety Data Sheets, identify hazard classifications, understand exposure limits, and follow the correct procedures for storage, handling, and emergency response. This is especially critical in Edmonton's industrial facilities where our coatings may interact with chemicals already present in the workspace.

Fall Protection

Industrial painting regularly involves work at height. Steel structures, overhead beams, pipe racks, tank exteriors, and building facades all require safe access systems. Our crew is certified in fall protection under Alberta OHS requirements, including harness inspection, anchor point selection, rescue planning, and the proper use of scaffolding, aerial lifts, and swing stages. We conduct pre-job hazard assessments on every industrial project to identify fall risks before work begins.

Confined Space Entry

Painting inside tanks, vaults, mechanical rooms, and enclosed structures requires confined space entry certification. Our team is trained in atmospheric monitoring, ventilation requirements, entry and exit procedures, and emergency rescue protocols. We carry our own atmospheric monitors and ventilation equipment so your facility does not need to supply them.

Lead Safety (RRP Certified)

Many older industrial buildings in Edmonton still contain lead-based paint. When we encounter these surfaces during recoating or removal projects, our RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) certified crew follows containment, removal, and disposal procedures that protect workers, building occupants, and the environment. We test suspect surfaces before work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.

WCB Coverage and Full Insurance

Every iPaint crew member is covered under Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) of Alberta. We also carry comprehensive commercial general liability insurance. This protects your facility and your business from liability exposure during the project. We provide certificates of insurance and WCB clearance letters before work starts.
