Consider achieving your COR-Certificate of Recognition with AFPA as your CP (Certifying Partner)

A COR shows that the employer’s health and safety management system has been evaluated by a certified auditor and meets provincial standards. These standards are established by Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). To get a COR, you must first have a health and safety management system in place, and then have it successfully audited. If you pass the audit, your CP will jointly issue a COR with the Government of Alberta.

COR benefits

Safe and healthy workplace — COR-certified employers demonstrate leadership, commitment to continual improvement, and dedication to worker health and safety. Possessing a certificate of recognition demonstrates to your workers, your industry peers, and the public that you value a workplace that's safe and secure from injury, illness, and disease. This commitment translates into a safer and healthier workforce and work environment, which helps ensure your workers go home safely every day.
Competitive advantage — Having a COR reflects your commitment to workplace health and safety, which may make it easier to hire and keep workers. It can also give you an advantage when it comes to work contracts. As clients become more socially-conscious and discerning in choosing who to work with, it's important to make the most of every opportunity that will give your company a competitive edge.
Financial savings — Achieving a COR can also have positive financial impacts. When you maintain a safe and healthy workplace with few worker injuries and shorter claims duration, your company's WCB rating will improve. This will eventually lead to a discount on your premiums, which can result in significant savings. Employers who reduce their claim costs below predicted targets and achieve a COR can earn up to 20% off their industry rate. After earning a COR, you are eligible for a 10% industry rate refund for the first year and then 5% every year you maintain the COR. AFPA can help you develop a health and safety program and earn a COR.
