There are many reasons why MSA members choose to implement a workplace safety program and become COR Certified in Saskatchewan.

Mike Mario, President/CEO, Regina Auto Body’s reason is “Safety is always top of mind. We became COR Certified as it was one piece of the puzzle in our quest to become a “Lean” collision repair facility. COR Certification is ingrained in our culture of Continuous Improvement, Efficiency, Productivity and team engagement are just a few positive things that we can say about COR Certification.”

Additional benefits of COR Certification include:

• Potential Reduction in WCB Premiums & Insurance Costs
• Boost Worker Engagement, Productivity & Efficiency
• Increased Industry Recognition & Leadership
• Improved Quality of Health & Safety Program
• Enhanced Employee Retention & Satisfaction
• Meets Provincial COR Standards & Pre-Bid Qualifications
• No Additional Fees for MSA Members to Participate in COR

While some COR certifying agencies charge thousands of dollars for this service; it remains available to MSA members at no additional charge! To learn more about our COR program click here: MSA COR Services
