An easier way for you to achieve and maintain COR™ Certification

What is COR™?

The CFCSA says:

“The Certificate of Recognition program (COR™) is an occupational health and safety accreditation program that verifies a fully implemented safety & health program which meets national standards. The objectives of COR™ are to provide industry employers with an effective safety and health management system to reduce incidents, accidents and injuries as well as their associated human and financial costs. COR™ is now frequently used as a pre-qualifying and/or condition of contract by public and private project owners across Canada.”

How SiteDocs makes it easier

Using SiteDocs safety management software makes it easier for your company to achieve and maintain your COR™ certification in two significant ways: firstly, managing your day-to-day safety compliance and secondly, saving you time preparing for your year-end audit.

Day-to-day compliance

Ensuring safety compliance with a paper-based safety system is difficult, incredibly time consuming, and all too often ineffective. However, companies that make the switch to SiteDocs safety management software find their safety management is much easier, significantly faster, and noticeably better.

On Site, your workers have access to your Safety program materials directly on their phone or tablet through the SiteDocs app. Information is literally at their fingertips and not printed off in multiple binders. Within the app, workers can fill out forms like hazard assessments, inspections, incident reports, near miss reports, etc. and sign directly on their device with their finger, and include pictures directly in the forms themselves. Signed forms and resource materials are time-stamped and automatically filed, and saved and organized within your SiteDocs account. Workers no longer waste time handling paper and worry about delivering it to Head Office. Instead, they can immediately go back to work. Time saved from handling paper can now be focused on the many other aspects of your Safety and Health program.

At Head Office (or wherever you have access to the web), you’re able to log in online and monitor safety compliance in real-time, ensuring all required forms for your COR™ certification are being completed on every job site and location. This unprecedented visibility not only helps increase accountability, but improves safety culture across the entire company. You are also able to easily distribute any required safety documents to all job sites in seconds (Eg. Safe Work Practices, Safe Job Procedures, new Safety Manual sections, MSDS/SDS, etc.).

Year-end audit

One of the advantages of going paperless and using safety software is how much easier your COR™ audit is. With paper, companies often spend hundreds of hours searching through filing cabinets and binders, looking for paperwork for their audit. With SiteDocs, all of your forms that have been signed throughout the year are already organized and filed for quick and easy access.

You can quickly retrieve all Hazard Assessments, Inspections, Incident Reports, Training Certifications, Toolbox Talks and much more. You can even use the Smart Search feature to find specific form types or incidents in literally seconds. Some Associations are even allowing companies to give Auditors access to their SiteDocs Admin Panel. In the Admin Panel, Auditors are able to attain a comprehensive evaluation of a company’s Safety Program and easily confirm supporting documentation within a company’s program, all with a few clicks!
