What is COR Certification in Alberta?
COR (Certificate of Recognition) is a program developed by Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) department that certifies employers who have implemented health and safety management systems that meet provincial standards.
The program helps employers reduce incidents and injuries and improve overall safety performance. Employers who become COR certified have demonstrated their commitment to safety by developing and implementing an effective safety program and undergoing a rigorous audit process.

Industries We Service
About Bastion Safety Solutions
Bastion specializes in simplifying safety, maintenance, and business process automation through a cloud & app-based software. Practically speaking, preparation for COR is really preparing for an audit, so there must be an understanding of the activities and their records, as well as the frequencies with which to apply them. Then, as an option, we have the software deliver and track completions in real time.
Who We Serve
Bastion operates country wide, with extensive experience in North, South, and Central Alberta. Our clients include many industries, like construction, manufacturing, agriculture, energy and more. (Essence Cabinets & Closets, Element steel, Graham Construction, Worley, Techmation, General Crane, Provincial Electrical Services).
Subject Matter Experts
Bastions origins come from about 2008, but really took shape in 2013. Our roots are in operations, and maintenance. We view organizational safety as an indicator of company health & maturity. A poorly operating safety program will have repercussions that reach far beyond injury. It’s best to identify symptoms early and address them.
Safety that Makes Sense
Running a business takes a lot of work. Lots of paper, signatures, proposals, investigations, and MISTAKES. Our goal is to reduce the administrative load of client safety programs and provide unparalleled visibility to safety activities.
