What is a COR audit?

An audit is a comprehensive review of a company’s health and safety management system. To qualify for a COR, the audit must be carried out:

• By a qualified auditor
• Using an audit instrument approved by a Certifying Partner in partnership with the Alberta government

Typically, the COR audit will cover the basic elements of a health and safety management system and will include interviews, documentation review and observation techniques.
