Thinking about going for COR? Just heard about the COR program? You probably have a bunch of questions and not too many answers. Where could a person get a general backgrounder and maybe discover some answers to more industry-specific questions?
A good place to start would be the Partners Program webpage at WorkSafeBC. For a high-level overview, I’d recommend perusing the “Info Sheets”.
For a bit finer resolution, consider reviewing the “Program Details” section. Links to the various Certifying Partners, info on the types of COR available and which type is currently on-hold, COR benefits by the numbers, an interface to look up which other employers are COR certified, and answers to FAQ’s are all available.
For an all-out barrage of COR goodness, check out the “Standards
& Guidelines” (S&G) section. The S&G is the COR rulebook.
Maybe you’ve already cruised the Partners Program webpage and are looking for more industry-specific details. Since you are reading this blog, I’ll assume you are in the trucking industry or closely aligned with the trucking industry, and are looking for more information from your certifying partner.
If you are reading this blog on our website, welcome! If this blog has been picked-up and posted somewhere else, truck on over here to access our website.
There are piles of resources on the SafetyDriven –TSCBC website. There are seven main tabs along the top that will redirect you to whatever topic is your main interest. Since this is a COR blog, we’ll explore the COR tab.
Clicking the COR tab opens seven more sub-tabs. Let’s see what lurks under the surface:
On the left, “How to get COR” contains:
- Answers to common FAQ’s
- Information regarding registration and/or mentorship and the application form
- Large employer forms
- Small employer forms
- Owner operator information
Next, the “Benefits of COR” tab houses:
- A COR Calculator, that you can use to work out the business case for COR
- A section on outputs – A high level look at what you get out of COR
Further to the right there is a “Current COR Companies” tab. Open it and there are lists of large employers, small employers, and owner operators currently COR certified through SafetyDriven – TSCBC.
In the middle is a “COR Audits” tab.
- PDF versions of the COR audit (LECOR, SECOR) reside here. (Contact us about the owner operator audit.) These versions are intended to be used for informational and/or internal gap analysis purposes. Actual COR audits are done using Word versions of these forms, for maximum flexibility and editability. Word versions of the audit are given out to all internal auditors as part of the internal auditor training process. If you require a Word version, contact us at COR (at) safetydriven (dot) ca.
Continuing on in the dextral direction, clicking the “COR Auditors” sub-tab will take you to a list of SafetyDriven – TSCBC external auditors. If you are a large employer and need to do a certification or re-certification audit, you will need to select and contract the services of one of the external auditors on the list.
Second to the right, check out a few stories about some of our COR certified companies at the “Case Studies” sub-tab.
And finally, on the far right is the most important sub-tab of all. Dun, dun, daahh! The COR Policy & Procedure Manual. Almost everything in this section derives from the S&G, but is specific to SafetyDriven – TSCBC. This tab houses the SafetyDriven – TSCBC playbook for COR.
There are so many topics under the COR Policy & Procedure Manual sub-tab, I’ll continue on that topic in a future blog. Stay tuned!
