Health & Safety
COR Certified Companies
go2HR® proudly recognizes and congratulates the following COR-certified employers.
Working Alone
Workers who work alone or in isolation face increased risk if an emergency or violent incident occurs and help is not immediately available. To reduce these risks, the OHS Regulation requires employers to assess the hazards, implement safety procedures, and ensure regular check-ins, especially during isolated or late-night shifts.
New & Young Workers
New and young workers need extra support as they build the awareness, confidence, and habits that help prevent injuries. Whether they're new to the job or just starting out, strong orientation and continued guidance are key to keeping them safe.
Create & Support a Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC)
Creating and keeping up a healthy, safe workplace doesn’t (and shouldn’t!) fall to just one person. It’s a big job, one that benefits from a variety of skills, perspectives, and backgrounds. That’s why businesses have Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC).
Orient, Train & Supervise Workers
Proper training ensures workers are competent, confident, and equipped to handle workplace hazards safely. From task-specific instruction to psychological health awareness, investing in training not only prevents injuries but also fosters a proactive safety culture.
Identify Hazards & Manage Risk
Identifying and controlling workplace hazards is key to preventing injuries and ensuring a safe environment. By assessing risks, implementing control measures, and continuously monitoring safety procedures, businesses can proactively reduce harm and protect workers' well-being.

Employees concerned with their alcohol and drug use or showing signs of dependency can significantly impact the workplace and negatively impact attendance, performance, behaviour and safety. Furthermore, given that British Columbia’s human rights legislation includes drug and alcohol dependencies within the meaning of disability under the Human Rights Code, employers have a legal obligation to accommodate these disabilities within their organization.
