Essentially, COR Certified means you have prepared a Health & safety management system (HSMS) that has been evaluated (audited) by your certifying partner that complies with the written COR standard. Then there are some one time, and ongoing requirements.
- One time: HSMS must pass an initial documentation audit (to ensure it meets the standard).
- A second audit must be completed by a peer auditor within 3 to 6 months that involves detailed site visits, observations of worker practices, and review of field conditions.
- Complete annual compliance audits and submit them to the certifying partner.
