Certificate of Recognition (COR)

The Certificate of Recognition program shows your commitment to health and safety, and saves you money.

Want to show your commitment to health and safety—and save a bit of money? 

The Certificate of Recognition (COR) program is a voluntary WorkSafeBC program that recognizes and financially rewards employers that have proactively elevated their occupational health and safety management system beyond the legal requirements of the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.  

The COR assessment manual establishes the program's framework and responsibilities, including those of the employer, the certifying partner, and WorkSafeBC.

Not sure that you’re ready for COR? 

Our Tailored Outreach Program (TOP) is the perfect stepping stone. Consider TOP –a free program for our members–your mini-COR audit. Our dedicated team of health and safety experts provides a gap analysis, an action plan, one-on-one consultative services, and industry-specific resources to support your health and safety management system.  

TOP doesn’t just end with an action plan. We commit to supporting you through the next three years. If you want to join our next TOP cohort, contact us at info@safecarebc.ca.
