Meeting provincial audit standards has never been easier

The Certificate of Recognition, or COR, is awarded to employers whose health and safety programs meet provincial standards. An external certified auditor must successfully complete a certification audit. The Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR) program is available for businesses with up to ten employees. To receive a Certificate of Recognition, your business must have a health and safety program that meets the COR program’s requirements. A certification audit is requested through your industry Certifying Partner.

COR & SECOR are the industry standard for health & safety. Our COR Audit process includes:
