FOR MSABC MEMBERS
You're an MSABC member. Here's the whole shelf, free.
You came here from MSABC. Here's what's waiting, in one line: the complete generic IT resource library, sixteen ready-to-adopt IT policies written for a plant, and a standing seat at a monthly briefing. Free, for as long as you're an MSABC member. No card, no trial, no call.
No product pitch. No vendor slides. No follow-up sales call unless you ask for one. We answer questions straight, including when the answer is "you don't need us for that."
You already run a safety program. You have a committee, toolbox talks before shift, posters on the wall and an audited certification you renew every year. Almost none of that exists for IT in most plants: no written rules, nothing signed, nothing reviewed. This is the IT version of the shelf you already keep, and it's yours to take.

Access: Public.
The Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC is the not-for-profit health and safety association for British Columbia's manufacturing and food processing sector.
MSABC lists SafeIT as a partner organization. That is all it is. MSABC does not recommend, endorse, approve or certify SafeIT, our people, our service or anything on this page. Nothing here is an MSABC program. Nothing here forms part of, prepares you for, or affects any MSABC program, standard or audit. If you ever see us imply otherwise, tell MSABC and tell us.
We say it this bluntly because a member benefit that quietly borrows an association's credibility isn't a benefit, it's a loan against someone else's reputation. MSABC gave us permission to talk to you. Everything after that we have to earn ourselves.
Access: Partner Access: free for MSABC members. Claim it in step 3 below.
Every line in this table passes the same test: does serving one more person cost us anything? If the answer is no, you can have it.
| What you get | Why it costs you nothing |
|---|---|
| A standing invitation to every monthly briefing | It's a broadcast. One production cost, however many people show up. The four hundredth attendee costs us nothing the fourth didn't. |
| Every briefing recording and slide deck | Already recorded, already made. Serving a file is free. |
| The complete generic resource library: policies, posters, toolbox talks, checklists, quick-reference cards and guidebooks, all unbranded | The documents exist. A free Community account gets a selection; Partner Access gets the whole shelf. Copying a file costs us nothing. |
| The member newsletter | Already written every month. One more address on the list is free. |
| Every self-serve tool: the readiness self-check and the downtime calculator | Self-serve by definition. Nobody on our side is involved. |
| A free IT & security assessment | This one does cost us real hours, and we absorb them. It's listed here for completeness, not as a perk of being an MSABC member, it's open to anyone who asks. |
| The welcome gift: the full 16-policy pack | A one-time send of files that already exist. See below. |
Partner Access is not a SafeIT membership. You're an MSABC member with SafeIT Partner Access. We won't call you a SafeIT member and neither should anyone else, the difference matters and it's explained in Section 6.
Access: Partner Access.
In KTI's assessment work, most plants have either no written IT policies at all, or one acceptable use document a former employee copied off the internet in 2014 that nobody has signed since.
This is the complete set. Sixteen policies, editable, unbranded, written so a supervisor can read one without a translator. Each carries a short "why this exists" preamble you can leave in or strip out, a signature block, and a review date field.
- Acceptable use policy
- Password & MFA standard (MFA is a second check beyond the password)
- Remote access policy
- Mobile device policy
- Removable media policy
- Third-party & vendor access policy
- Patch & update management policy
- Backup & restore policy
- Data classification & retention policy
- Physical & site security policy
- Email & phishing reporting policy
- Change management policy
- User onboarding & offboarding policy
- Incident response policy & plan
- Business continuity policy
- AI & generative tool use policy
Take the whole pack in an afternoon, or take four and leave the rest. Put your company name at the top, delete the clauses that don't apply, sign it and file it. It is yours: no attribution, no watermark, nothing on it that says SafeIT.
One honest warning. These are templates, not legal advice. Employment and privacy law differ across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, and a monitoring or device clause that's routine in one is not in another. Have your own counsel read anything you intend to make binding on staff.

Access: Public for the live session, Community for the recordings. Your standing invitation as an MSABC member means you never need a code for it.
Third Tuesday of the month. 7:30 in the morning. Thirty minutes: twenty on one thing that matters in a plant, ten on your questions. Online, recorded, published within 48 hours.
Two alternating tracks: Keeping it running (resilience, continuity, security) and Worth the money (AI and technology). Twelve sessions a year.
And the rule that makes it worth your Tuesday:
If we ever break that rule, MSABC hears about it, and rightly. Which is exactly why we won't.

Here's the line, drawn where it actually falls rather than buried at the bottom.
Everything above is broadcast or already produced. These next things consume advisor hours, licence seats or a chair in a room, and we can't give them away at scale without them quietly getting worse:
- Advisor time, in any form
- Customization: the work that turns a generic policy into your policy, matched to your sites, your systems and your shift pattern
- Live training seats and phishing simulation runs: every seat is a paid licence
- Roundtable seats: capped at twelve people, closed door
- Gap assessments, remediation roadmaps and evidence packages
- Cork coverage: warranty-backed cyber financial protection
- Support of any kind
Those are part of SafeIT membership, which is a paid IT service. Not a policy preference on our part, a cost fact. Broadcast scales, so it can be open. The closed room is membership.
We'd rather you read that here than find it out three clicks in.
Access: Public.
Two things, both low-pressure, neither required.
A free IT & security assessment. Open to anyone: MSABC member or not, SafeIT member or not. Someone walks your setup with you and you get a written report you keep, whatever you decide afterwards. It costs us real hours and we absorb them, because it's how a manufacturer finds out what they'd actually be buying. There is no obligation attached and no follow-up sequence behind it. Book one.
SafeIT membership. This is the actual product: we become your IT department. Advisors on call, your policies written and kept current, your crew trained, your continuity tested, and Cork coverage on the service. We call it membership because it describes how we behave, not because it's free, it isn't. What membership is.
If neither is for you, take the policy pack and the briefings and we're square. That's a real outcome, not a consolation.
1. Get your code from MSABC. It's in their member newsletter and their member portal. If you can't find it, ask MSABC: it's their code and their list, not ours. We never see your MSABC membership number and we never ask them for their member list.
2. Create a free account. Name, company, work email. About two minutes. No payment details are requested at any point.
3. Enter the code. We check it and switch Partner Access on within one business day, then email you. The complete library unlocks and the 16-policy pack lands in your downloads. Briefing invitations start with the next session.
That's the whole process. No verification call, no payment details, no annual re-application. If your MSABC membership lapses, tell us and we'll move you back to a standard Community account rather than quietly leaving you where you are.

SafeIT is a full-service managed IT provider built for manufacturers and food and beverage processors. We're a venture of Kearns Technology Inc., "Powered by KTI", a Toronto-headquartered IT services firm founded in 2010, now a team of technicians, consultants, security specialists and analysts serving customers across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany.
We run like an association on purpose: advisors on call, a resource library, training, a readiness path and a room full of peers. Underneath, it's an IT company that answers the phone at 3am when a line is down.

Access: Public.
Why are you giving this away? Because it costs us nothing. Every item above is either a file that already exists or a session we were running anyway: the second person to download a policy costs us exactly what the first one did, which is zero. What we get is that a handful of the people who take it eventually want a proper conversation about their IT. Most won't, and the arithmetic still works.
Are you going to sell to me? Not unless you ask. Claiming Partner Access doesn't put you into a sales sequence, attending a briefing doesn't generate a call, and downloading the policy pack doesn't flag you as a lead. There's a box you can tick if you'd like someone to get in touch. If you don't tick it, you'll hear from us monthly with the briefing and the newsletter, and that's the lot. Unsubscribe in one click.
Does MSABC endorse SafeIT? No. MSABC lists SafeIT as a partner organization, which means they've allowed us to extend this to their members. They do not recommend, endorse, approve or certify us, and this is not an MSABC program. Their programs are theirs. Ours are ours.
What's the catch? The catch is the line in Section 6, and it's stated rather than hidden: the free part is everything we can broadcast. The moment something needs one of our people's hours, advice, customization, a training seat, a chair at a roundtable, it's part of a paid membership. Nothing you take today expires, converts to a trial, or starts charging you later.
Do I have to be a BC manufacturer? For Partner Access, you need to be an MSABC member: that's their eligibility, not ours, and it's their code. SafeIT itself serves manufacturers and processors across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, so if you run sites outside BC we can cover them too. And if you're not an MSABC member at all, a free Community account still gets you a good slice of the library.
What this means for your plant
What this means for your plant Sixteen plant-ready IT policies, the full resource library and every monthly briefing: free, because you're an MSABC member. No pitch, no call, no card. The paid part is clearly marked and it's the part that needs our people's time. MSABC lists us as a partner. They don't endorse us, we have to earn that from you.

Step 3
Enter your code
Partner Access is a free account with the complete generic shelf on it. It is not a membership, and claiming it does not commit you to anything.
