The Business Benefits of a COR Certification

Certificate of Recognition (“COR”) is a nationally recognized accreditation program for employers that certifies the implementation of a health and safety management system that meets the highest provincial standards.

It is endorsed by the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations (CFCSA). COR is vital for businesses in construction, civil, and oil & gas industries. Often you cannot bid on a project unless you are COR certified.

But COR is a beneficial certification to have for any business irrespective of industry. A COR:
  • Saves you costs by reducing the risk of injuries and WCB premiums.
  • Places you at an advantage when bidding on contracts for projects.
  • Boosts brand image by showing your business’s commitment to health & safety.
But becoming COR certified is a long and complex process, especially without professional support.

In this webinar, our experts, Olivia Cicchini and Frank O’Rourke, share how a COR certification can help your business grow and how to get COR certified in the first attempt – without unnecessary delays and costs.
