Injury Prevention and Cost Savings:

A COR™ or SAFE Work certified company can experience reduced financial costs associated with injuries and incidents that affect the company’s financial bottom line. A good safety record will enhance an organization’s reputation in the industry. Employers have found an evaluation of their health and safety program is an effective way to identify organizations weaknesses to be corrected. This can lead to improvements in the system, and fewer job injuries and less job interruptions will contribute to a more productive and profitable company.

Pre-Bid Qualification:

COR & SAFE Work certification is a pre-bid qualification requirement for many construction projects in many provinces. Qualifying your company to bid puts your company at a decided advantage when compared to those companies that are not COR or SAFE Work certified. The COR program is often referenced by construction owners and contractors to locate employers with a demonstrated commitment to accident prevention.

Due Diligence:

The documentation and general safety awareness produced by the COR & SAFE Work Certified process may also provide evidence of due diligence if your company is charged with a Workplace Health and Safety offence. Through the process of training, program development, and implementation, companies build a more effective organization and can prove due diligence.
