Certificate of Recognition
(COR) for Large Employers
20 or More Full Time Employees
The Certificate of Recognition program is an incentive program recognizing and rewarding employers for implementing an effective Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) program which demonstrates a commitment to workplace health and safety. Participation in the program is voluntary.
The COR program is a natural extension of your existing health and safety program. Our Consultants and Advisors will help you fill the gaps in your safety program and decide if now is the right time to take part in the COR program.
COR certification is offered by WorkSafeBC and delivered through the Certifying Partners program. AgSafe is the COR Certifying Partner for employers in the Agricultural industry.
