Oil & Gas

Meet Don, a Health and Safety Officer for the oil and gas industry.

Since the start of COVID-19 Don has been dealing with fear and concerns for his employees and the management of the company to make sure that everyone remains safe, healthy and operational.

Don fields regular questions: "I'm vaccinated, do these rules apply to me? Do other companies have these specific regulations, too?"

As he walks around the work site he witnesses employees not wearing their mask properly, crew showing up with possible symptoms, yet claiming that they are well, or Don will get a report from a colleague stating that there's an industry-wide problem regarding COVID-19.

Don is left wondering how to solve these issues. Do we need to be certified? Is there a training program that's available that's easy to implement? What are my colleagues doing about this? What are we liable for?


We helped Don get the training and certification he needs to provide certainty for his facilities, let's get you covered, too.

Travel & Tourism

Meet Janet, owner of a cozy bed & breakfast in a small town on Vancouver Island, Canada. This town has been devastated by the lack of tourism over the past year and a half. Sales are down by 88% and she had to let go of 60% of her staff. 


As peak season is approaches and government travel restrictions are being lifted, Janet is excited and trepidatious for the coming tourist season. However, she sees these major concerns:

  •  How can I get my staff back and trained in a timely fashion for the influx of customer bookings?

  •  Do my employees/staff have the ability and are they trained adequately enough that my business, my employees and my customers are protected and covered, especially when it comes to health and safety measures?

  •  How will I visually show my customers that we have taken the necessary precautions to keep them safe?

  • How do I have my customers feel safe at my establishment?

  •  What happens if COVID-19 cases rise again? Will we be forced to close in the middle of peak season?


This is where Yellow Cross comes in with its certification program, providing education and certification for the business and the possibility of a partnership with a Yellow Cross Membership. Opening up the option of having our Yellow Cross members travel and shop with confidence at your establishment.
