Make a Statement About Your Commitment to Health & Safety With COR

The Certificate of Recognition (COR) program rewards employers who go above and beyond the legal requirements of the Workers Compensation Act and Occupational Health & Safety Regulation by elevating their health & safety practices. COR-certified employers can receive an annual financial incentive of up to 10% of their WorkSafeBC premiums. What’s more, it’s free to register.

 

Achieving COR certification is a straightforward process that will bolster your company’s safety management system, enhance your reputation and save you time and money.
