Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it typically take to achieve COR certification?
Most businesses complete the process in 12-16 months. The timeline depends on your company's size, current safety programs, and how quickly you can implement new systems. Our structured approach ensures we make steady progress without overwhelming your team.
Is COR certification mandatory in Ontario?
While not legally mandatory for all businesses, COR certification is increasingly required by major clients and contractors, particularly in construction, manufacturing, and utilities. Many government contracts and large projects now require bidders to have COR certification or be actively working toward it.
What happens after we achieve COR certification?
COR certification is valid for three years, after which you'll need to undergo a re-certification audit. During those three years, you'll need to maintain your safety management system and undergo annual maintenance audits. We offer post-certification support packages to help you maintain compliance.
COR vs. Other Safety Programs
Basic Safety Compliance
Meets minimum legal requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, but offers limited protection and no competitive advantage.
Internal Safety Programs
Company-developed programs that may improve safety but lack third-party validation and may not be recognized by clients or insurers.
ISO 45001
International standard focusing on management systems rather than specific safety practices. Often more complex and expensive than COR.
COR Certification
Industry-recognized standard that balances comprehensive safety requirements with practical implementation, offering both protection and business advantages.
Who Requires COR Certification?
Major clients requiring COR certification include the City of Toronto, Provincial Government of Ontario, Metrolinx, Infrastructure Ontario, and many large general contractors. The requirement is spreading rapidly across both public and private sectors.
The IHSA Audit Process
1
Documentation Review
IHSA auditors first examine all your safety documentation, including policies, procedures, training records, and hazard assessments.
Employee Interviews
Auditors select employees at random from various levels of your organization to verify understanding and implementation of safety procedures.
Workplace Observation
The auditor tours your workplace to observe actual practices, checking if documented procedures are being followed in real-world situations.
Scoring and Reporting
Your company must achieve at least 80% overall and at least 50% in each element to pass the audit and receive COR certification.
The Safety ROI Calculation
For a typical mid-sized Ontario business, COR certification can deliver significant financial benefits that far outweigh the implementation costs. Beyond direct savings on insurance and incident reduction, the ability to bid on contracts requiring COR represents the largest potential return on investment.

Common Misconceptions About COR
COR is just unnecessary paperwork
While documentation is an important component, COR is primarily about implementing functional safety systems that protect workers and improve operations. The documentation serves as evidence of these systems and helps maintain consistency as staff changes occur.
Small businesses can't achieve COR certification
Companies of all sizes can and do achieve COR certification. The standard is scalable and can be implemented appropriately based on company size and complexity. Our methods are specifically designed to work for small and medium-sized Ontario businesses.
We already follow safety rules, so COR isn't necessary
Basic regulatory compliance is just the starting point. COR provides a comprehensive management system that goes beyond minimum requirements, creating a proactive approach to safety that prevents incidents before they occur and provides verifiable evidence of your commitment.
The Role of Leadership in COR Success
Set Clear Expectations
Leaders must clearly communicate that safety is a core value, not just a priority that can be changed when convenient. This commitment should be visible in both words and actions.
Provide Resources
Successful implementation requires appropriate allocation of time, money, and personnel. Leadership must ensure these resources are available throughout the certification process.
Recognize Progress
Acknowledging and celebrating safety achievements helps maintain momentum and reinforces the importance of the certification journey to all team members.
