COR Safety Auditing Specialists

COR (Certificate of Recognition) Auditing is a task-oriented process that measures a company’s Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) program against a known safety standard. The primary goal of COR auditing is to maintain your COR certification by ensuring continuous improvement in safety practices, identifying both strengths and areas for improvement. By highlighting any gaps in compliance, the audit provides actionable solutions to enhance your safety systems and future-proof your operations.

We Handle the COR Safety Details, So You Stay Focused

At Calgary Safety Consultants, we take care of the intricate details of your COR certification, so you can stay focused on running your business. Our comprehensive audits not only ensure you meet regulatory standards across Alberta, but also highlight areas for improvement, minimizing risks and maximizing compliance. Here's how our COR auditing services can help your business:

  • Identify Compliance Gaps – It identifies areas where your safety practices fall short of regulatory standards, helping you avoid penalties and maintain certification.
  • Showcase Safety Risks – The audit pinpoints weaknesses in your Occupational Health & Safety program, reducing the risk of workplace accidents and incidents.
  • Plan For Continuous Improvement – COR Auditing drives ongoing enhancements by identifying both strengths and weaknesses in your safety management, ensuring your program evolves.
  • Avoid Costly Non-Compliance – By addressing compliance issues early, it prevents costly fines, uninsured losses, settlements, payouts, increased worker’ compensation premiums, and interruptions to operations.
  • Maintain COR Certification – The audit ensures that businesses meet the necessary criteria to keep their COR certification intact, which is vital for maintaining industry credibility and opportunities.
  • Solidify Brand Reputation - Companies that neglect safety standards may develop a poor reputation within their industry and among clients, employees, and the public. This can affect business relationships and make it harder to attract talent or maintain customer loyalty.
