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.
