Partnerships & CORs

Partnerships in Health and Safety promotes health and safety through partnerships with safety associations, industry groups, educational institutions and labour organizations. A Certificate of Recognition (COR) is given to employers who develop health and safety management systems that meet established standards. Certificates are issued by Certifying Partners and are co-signed by Alberta Employment and Immigration. Achieving and maintaining a valid COR is required to earn a financial incentive through the WCB's Partners in Injury Reduction program.
