Wijs Safety Software launches LMS with Canadian Safety Group

Wijs Safety Software has added an integrated learning management system for construction firms through a partnership with Canadian Safety Group. The platform is aimed at helping contractors stay compliant, track credentials and close skills gaps as labor shortages continue to pressure projects across North America.

Why it matters: - Construction firms are under pressure from persistent labor shortages and a skills gap that is affecting project delivery. - The new platform is designed to help employers keep workers trained, certifications current and safety records audit-ready. - Wijs is positioning the LMS as a way to support retention, compliance and safer job sites at the same time.

What happened: - Wijs Safety Software launched an integrated Learning Management System for construction firms in partnership with Canadian Safety Group. - The announcement was made Aug. 21, 2026, in Toronto. - The system combines company-specific training with access to Canadian Safety Group’s online course library.

The details: - The platform lets Wijs clients create and host their own training content for company certification and micro-credential needs. - Canadian Safety Group courses available through Wijs include Electrical Safety with Arc Flash Awareness and Lock Out/Tag Out Training. - Completed training certificates are uploaded to each worker profile in Wijs. - The system monitors training requirements and certificate expiration dates. - Renewal alerts go out in advance and include a link to the required training module. - Wijs delivers certificates to the worker and safety manager in real time after training is completed. - The platform provides instant access to worker certification during audits or safety inspections. - Steve Hall, CEO of Wijs, said the system is meant to let clients manage their own training while Wijs tracks certifications and helps keep records up to date.

Between the lines: - The launch comes as North American contractors continue to face hiring pressure and project delays tied to workforce shortages. - Wijs cited the AGC-NCCER 2025 State of the Construction Workforce Shortage, which found nearly 92% of companies had trouble filling positions and 45% reported project delays because of worker shortages. - The same report found 57% of candidates lacked skills and qualifications, while 41% did not have required credentials and licenses. - Wijs is also framing the product around an aging workforce, with retiring veteran construction workers adding to labor supply problems. - The company is using the LMS partnership to broaden its safety software beyond analytics and workflow tools into training delivery.

What's next: - Wijs says contractors can use the platform to train workers on demand and meet changing certification needs. - The company is directing firms interested in the integrated LMS to wijssafety.com or to Steve Hall at +1 647-372-2085. - Wijs and Canadian Safety Group are expected to continue promoting the platform as a compliance and training tool for construction employers.

The bottom line: - Wijs is betting that bundled training, credential tracking and safety software will help contractors close workforce gaps while staying compliant.
