Occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) audits, such as the Certificate of Recognition (COR™) audit, are used worldwide to assess employers’ OHS performance. In BC and Alberta, COR™ certification is associated with lower injury rates. In the BC construction sector, the BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA) is the certifying partner that oversees the design and implementation of the COR audit. The Partnership for Work, Health and Safety examined the performance of the BCCSA COR™ audit tool to identify how the audit performed overall, where and under what circumstances better scores were associated with lower injury rates, and whether better performance on specific aspects of the audit were more predictive of lower injury rates. The BC findings will be considered in the national and international context, identifying characteristics of audit certification that will lead to improved health and safety performance.
Who should attend?
- Managers and directors of OHSMS certification programs
- Auditors
- Safety officers
- Anyone involved in the administration and implementation of COR™
