Resumption of On-Site Activities
Partnerships has lifted the suspension of on-site data gathering by auditors, effective March 1.

  • Auditors may now resume on-site data gathering activities or continue to work remotely.

  • Prior to conducting on-site data gathering activities, both the auditor and employer must agree that on-site work can be safely conducted.
  • Auditors and employers must continue to follow the Safe Auditing Guidelines for on-site activities.

  • The use of observations remains optional in 2022, as agreed under the original 2022 COVID Audit Plan.

Please see the website for details, and links to 2022 audit tools.

Printing of Certificates of Recognition (COR)
Employers now have access to a PDF file of their Certificate of Recognition! Employers can access and print their own COR through their myWCB account with the Workers’ Compensation Board – Alberta. (This is the same location where you can print your Partnerships in Injury Reduction reports.)

To download or print your COR, just log into your myWCB account and click on “Reports and Invoices”.

This new service significantly decreases red tape and increases efficiency by reducing turnaround time for a COR to reach its employer. As soon as your COR is approved, you can access it. 

For help with your myWCB account, please email ebusiness.support@wcb.ab.ca. If you are not the individual at your municipality with a myWCB account, please forward this information to the account holder. 
External Peer Audit Process
The deadline to request participation in the peer process for COR Certification in 2022 is June 1, 2022!
 
Submit the following information to shannon@amhsa.net:
  • Month in which you want the audit to be conducted
  • Number of employees and sites
  • Auditors available to audit another municipality
 
As always, we expect to receive several requests from municipalities who are unable to contribute auditors to the process, and we rely on volunteers to conduct these audits. If you are willing to participate in or lead a COR Certification for a municipality in need, please let us know! 
Consultant Auditors
The list of AMHSA-certified consultant auditors is available on our website, if you are not participating in the peer process.
