The Certificate of Recognition (COR) program provides an opportunity for employers and industry-based health and safety associations to take a proactive role in promoting health and safety.  By developing safety management systems, employers can reduce injuries and accidents in the workplace, reducing worker suffering and improving the workplace safety culture.

The BCMSA is the Certifying Partner for employers in the Local Government Classification Unit with WorkSafeBC and is responsible for the creation of the Local Government Audit Tools, Training and Certifying External and Internal Auditors, and overall quality assurance of the program.
