In the third year of the COR audit cycle, what is the primary focus?

The primary focus in the third year of the COR audit cycle is on the continuous improvement of the health and safety management system. This phase of the audit cycle is critical, as it emphasizes the need for organizations to not only maintain compliance with health and safety standards, but also to actively enhance their processes and systems.

During this year, organizations are encouraged to evaluate their current practices, identify areas for enhancement, and implement strategies that foster ongoing improvement. This focus aligns with the principles of COR (Certificate of Recognition), which are designed to promote a culture of safety that evolves through regular assessment and feedback.

While other areas like initial certification, financial audits, and staff training are important components of overall organizational management, they do not encapsulate the specific aim of the third year in the COR audit cycle, which is fundamentally about refining and enhancing health and safety practices to achieve better outcomes.
