ACHESON, AB – March 19, 2026 — Silverback Torch On Systems Ltd., a leading commercial roofing companies edmonton provider, is pleased to announce its 100% compliance rating and the renewal of its Certificate of Recognition (COR) following the comprehensive updates to the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code. As the provincial transition period ends this March, Silverback continues to lead the industry in safety excellence, ensuring that its clients are protected from the significant liability and risks associated with working at heights.
The roofing industry is frequently cited as one of the top five most hazardous occupations, with injury-related costs in the sector projected to reach $2.8 billion by the end of 2025.

Silverback’s rigid adherence to the latest OHS standards—including advanced fall protection, rigorous hazard assessments, and comprehensive worker training—sets it apart as the safest choice for high-stakes industrial roofing services.
“Safety is not a checkbox for us; it is a core mission that protects our workers and our clients’ business continuity,” said Kevin Morris, Founder of Silverback Torch On Systems Ltd. “With the new 2025 amendments to the OHS Code, we have updated our protocols to ensure we exceed the minimum technical requirements. From residential townhomes to large-scale industrial complexes, we bring the same level of disciplined safety oversight to every square foot we install.”
Silverback’s safety leadership includes:
-
COR Certification: A prestigious designation awarded to employers whose health and safety management systems meet provincial standards through annual third-party audits.
-
Advanced Fall Protection: Implementation of the 2025 OHS requirements for temporary work areas, ensuring all personnel are protected at heights of three meters or more.
-
