Alberta & BC's Third-Party Certification Authority
Independent competency assessments, verified certifications, and operator reporting — built for the heavy equipment industry.
What We Do
From pre-hire screening to incident investigation, Rock Solid provides the independent oversight your operation needs.
Know who you're hiring before they set foot on your site. Rock Solid conducts structured, equipment-specific competency assessments on candidates — evaluating not just operating skill but their understanding of pre-trip inspection, daily maintenance checks, and safe equipment handling. Make informed hiring decisions backed by objective, third-party results, not just a résumé.
Our certifications are issued only after an operator demonstrates verified competency across jobsite safety communication, pre-trip inspection, equipment operation, and post-trip procedures — including fluid checks, greasing schedules, and identifying mechanical deficiencies before they become costly failures. Equipment-specific and independently issued, credible with employers, insurers, and regulators alike.
Every assessment produces a detailed written report documenting the operator's performance across all tested criteria — operating technique, safety compliance, and equipment care. Reports highlight maintenance-related findings such as missed inspection steps or improper shutdown procedures, giving supervisors actionable data. Delivered digitally within 24 hours and stored permanently for audit or OHS compliance.
When equipment incidents occur, you need an independent account of what happened. Rock Solid investigates equipment-related incidents with a focus on operator competency, pre-trip inspection compliance, and maintenance adherence — identifying whether inadequate care or improper operation contributed to the event. Objective reporting that stands up to OHS review, insurance claims, and legal scrutiny.
Get a clear, current picture of your entire workforce — who is certified, on what equipment, at what skill level, and when certifications expire. The operator matrix also flags patterns in maintenance deficiencies and inspection failures across your crew, giving fleet managers and safety officers the insight needed for targeted retraining, RFQ documentation, and compliance planning.
Beyond certification, Rock Solid delivers customized training programs covering operating technique, equipment-specific maintenance procedures, daily inspection routines, and proper greasing and fluid management. Poor maintenance habits cost companies thousands in premature equipment wear — our training builds operators who treat machinery with the care it requires, reducing downtime and extending asset life.

Equipment Categories

Why Rock Solid
Employer-issued certifications have inherent conflicts of interest. Rock Solid's third-party independence is what makes our certifications credible.
Rock Solid is not affiliated with your company or equipment manufacturer. Our assessments reflect real competency — not productivity pressure or hiring quotas.
Every assessment follows the same structured criteria. Your certifications mean the same thing whether issued in Calgary or Kamloops.
All test data is captured and stored digitally. Pull up any operator's certification history, assessment scores, or report at any time.
Rock Solid works with companies across Alberta and British Columbia — from small contractors to large site operators — to build and maintain certified, competent equipment operator teams.
