Certificate of Recognition Audits.

A Certificate of Recognition (COR) is given to employers who develop health and safety programs that meet established standards. Certificates are issued by Certifying Partners and are co-signed by Alberta Human Resources and Employment.

Achieving and maintaining a valid COR is required for earning a financial incentive through the Partners in Injury Reduction program. Also, it is not unusual for Alberta corporations to expect contractors bidding on projects to hold a valid COR.

To arrange for an audit an employer should: COR

ensure they have a health and safety management system in place
contact a Certifying Partner to request a list of qualified auditors
select an auditor with appropriate experience and qualifications for their industry and operations
arrange with the auditor for the audit to be completed

Note: Where the employer has operations that are covered by more than one WCB account number or industry code, it is important to clearly identify which operations are to be included in the audit and which WCB account number and industry code(s) will be linked to the COR.

When arranging for an audit, an employer should ask about the auditor’s qualifications and experience, and establish a cost estimate for the entire process, including a written report and recommendations. An employer may also request references from the auditor and check with their previous clients as to the level of satisfaction both with cost and product outcome.

The cost of an audit will vary according to the size and complexity of the employer’s operations. Auditors will usually quote a daily rate, based on the number of employees to be interviewed, the number of documents to be reviewed and the scope of operations to be included in the overall audit process.
