What is the primary focus of COR certification audits?

The primary focus of COR certification audits is to achieve or maintain a Certificate of Recognition. This certification program is designed to help organizations develop and implement effective health and safety management systems. The audit specifically assesses the organization's safety management practices to ensure they meet the necessary standards outlined by the certification body.

While evaluating employee compliance with tasks, reviewing financial aspects of safety programs, and analyzing management effectiveness may all be components of a comprehensive safety program, they are not the central aim of the COR certification audit. Instead, the audit's structured approach is geared towards validating that a company’s management systems are robust enough to warrant the certification, which ultimately highlights the organization’s commitment to workplace health and safety.
