Why do I need Achieve COR?
In addition to many clients, and most provinces already acquiring COR as a requirement to bid on work,
it is now being mandated by large municipalities across Ontario.
Qualify for Jobs, where others cannot
Firms that achieve COR certification may qualify ahead of others for certain jobs. Buyers of construction can make COR™ a requirement for contractors bidding on jobs in order to be more confident in the contractor's health and safety performance.
Decrease Injury and Disability
Certified firms had, on average, a 12% decrease in the short-term disability, long-term disability and fatality (STD, LTD and fatality) rate.
Attract Safety Conscious Workers
A firm's corporate image will be enhanced within the industry and community. Commitment to a strong culture of safety will attract safety-conscious workers.
Competitive Advantage
Providing immediate proof that you have an effective health and safety management system in place will give your organization a competitive advantage. Buyers of construction can be assured that you will bring superior safety practices to the workplace
Comply with National Standards
Your program will comply with COR™ national standards, since all stipulations have been endorsed by participating members of the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations (CFCSA).
Enhance Corporate Image
Protecting the health and safety of all workers at all times is the right thing to do. Effective development and maintenance of a health and safety management system is a proactive approach to eliminating workplace injuries and illnesses.
