Questions

COR Safety Manual, Drafted for Your Company: what people ask

Is COR required by law?

No. IHSA describes COR as a voluntary certification for employers with effective occupational health and safety management systems. It is nationally trademarked and endorsed by the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations.

Do I need a written safety policy in Ontario?

Yes. An employer must prepare a written occupational health and safety policy, review it at least once a year, and set up a program to carry it out. This doesn't apply where five or fewer workers are regularly employed.
