What is the minimum data requirement for a company to be eligible for a 1-year COR?

A company is eligible for a 1-year Certificate of Recognition (COR) if it meets specific minimum data requirements related to its safety programs and practices. The requirement of a minimum of 3 months of relevant data indicates that the company must have a demonstrated commitment to workplace safety and health for at least that duration before applying for the COR. This initial timeframe allows auditors to assess the effectiveness of the company’s safety management system and its operational performance over a reasonable period of time.

This 3-month period is intended to ensure that the company has not only implemented safety measures but has also had enough time to monitor and assess their impact. It provides sufficient leverage for evaluating the robustness of the safety culture within the organization and any corresponding performance metrics. A 6-month or 1-year requirement would set a higher bar for demonstration, potentially excluding eligible companies that have made positive changes within this shorter timeframe. Conversely, stating there is no requirement would not align with the established practices for ensuring a minimum standard of workplace safety recognition.
