Have you considered the benefits of holding a Certificate of Recognition (COR)?  We can provide a gap analysis of your current health and safety program and then work with you to achieve and maintain a COR with the Certifying Partner that best represents your industry.  Holding a COR has its advantages including; lower WCB premiums and preferred status on vendor hiring lists.

​

The following is a general overview of the COR certification process:

​

• The employer contacts the certifying partner for its industry to register in the COR program.

• Once registered, the certifying partner will provide the program details and information that is needed to qualify for COR.

• The employer then develops or modifies its occupational health and safety management system so it aligns with COR program standards, with the guidance of the certifying partner.

• A qualified auditor performs an audit of the organization's health and safety management system.

• The certifying partner conducts a quality assurance review of the audit report.

• If the employer passes the audit and the certifying partner determines the audit to have met the requirements, then WorkSafeBC or Alberta OHS initiates the process of issuing a certificate.

• The certifying partner awards the employer with a certificate of recognition
