    Complete and submit AgSafe's COR Registration Form.

    Note: Find your Classification Unit (CU) here.

    Note: This is to ensure the company has a health and safety management system that meets AgSafe’s Small COR audit standard.
  • 3

    Have a permanent employee complete AgSafe’s COR Internal Auditor Training.

    Note: A company can use an AgSafe approved External Auditor to conduct any of their COR audits. More information about AgSafe's Internal Auditor Training is available here.
  • 4
    Conduct a Small COR Certification Audit.
  • 5
    Submit the Certification Audit for a quality assurance review.
  • 6

    If the Certification Audit meets the audit requirements (minimum 80% overall with at least 50% in each element), a Small COR Certificate may be issued.

    Note: The COR Certificate is valid for 3 years, providing annual maintenance audit requirements are met.

The COR program is easy to use, there is an incentive at the end … It is a Win Win situation.
