COR ThE STANdARd FOR SAFETy

The Certificate of Recognition Program (COR) is an occupational health and safety accreditation program that verifies a fully implemented safety & health program which meets national standards. The objectives of COR are to provide industry employers with an effective safety and health management system to reduce incidents, accidents and injuries as well as their associated human and financial costs. COR is nationally trademarked and endorsed by participating members of the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations (CFCSA) of which the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba (CSAM) is a member. The Construction Safety Association of Manitoba (CSAM) is an Authority Having Jurisdiction to grant COR in the province of Manitoba. In achieving this national safety program accreditation in Manitoba, CSAM practices the utmost diligence to ensure that the COR standards are upheld. With one common audit instrument utilized across Canada, the national standard is clear: Minimum 50% in each element and an overall audit score of 80%. COR is now frequently used as a pre-qualification and/or condition of contract by public and private project owners across Canada. COR is endorsed by Manitoba Labour, Workplace Safety and Health Division and the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba (WCB). COR Certified status is the ultimate distinction verifying companies which have implemented a comprehensive safety program.

PLEASE NOTE: As the Authority Having Jurisdiction to grant COR Certification in the province of Manitoba for the building construction industry, CSAM practices the utmost diligence to ensure that the COR standards are upheld. Caution should be taken if any other organization suggests that it is qualified to provide accredited COR training, COR audits or COR Certification.

*Construction companies with a WCB code starting with 407& 408 may receive COR services from the Manitoba Heavy Construction Safety Program (MHCSP). CSAM and MHCSP reciprocally recognize the COR Certified status of companies ineach of their respective programs.

SmALL EmpLOyER COR CERTIFICATION

The Small Employer Certificate of Recognition Program (SECOR) is an occupational health and safety accreditation program that verifies a fully implemented safety & health program which meets provincial standards. The objectives of Small Employer COR are to provide industry employers, with less than 10 employees, with an effective safety and health management system to reduce incidents, accidents and injuries as well as their associated human and financial costs. The SECOR is designed to provide contractors with practical solutions for asafer workplace; offering a simple, straightforward approach to safety. The fourteen elements of the COR program have been simplified into threekey elements of safety: Identification; Communication and Controlof hazards. Achievement of your Small Employer COR Certification will include completion of required training; implementation of your safety program; andverification CSAM audit standards are met.

COR COmpAREd TO SmALL EmpLOyER COR

The main reason often stated for going with the full COR program is that itisNationally Recognized. SECOR is often used by small employers as a stepping-stone to achieving COR. The main benefit of SECOR is that companies are provided with a generic safety manual and full electronic CD to customize policies removing a large administrative concern of most small employers. In SECOR, the 14 elements of the COR program are simplified into 3 elements. As per the legislative requirements of the Workplace Safety & Health Division, anyone hiring a contractor is required to create a Criteria for evaluating and selecting employers and self-employed persons to be involved in work at theworkplace and to develop procedures for regularly monitoring employees and self employed persons. Both COR and SECOR are provincially recognized by the WSH Division and WCB either one are acceptable for the majority of MIT; City of Wpg; UofM tenders, etc. as verification that your company has an effective safety and health management system in place.

Companies requesting an independent safety audit will be assessed a fee of $250 for that audit and each year thereafter that a company holds program certification. This annual $250 audit fee will offset independent audit costs for achieving COR or SECOR accreditation with the balance of the costs being absorbed within the current CSAM operating budget. Upon successful completion and passing of a CSAM internal audit, a company may apply for program certification. An independent audit must beconducted by credited safety personnel whose credentials are approved by the CSAM program. This independent auditor must be completely out of
