You’ve navigated to the SafetyDriven website, clicked the COR tab, and are now entranced by the COR landing page. Your eyes well up with tears. There’s so much COR goodness it’s hard to decide what to look at first.
Ooo! A shiny bit catches your eye. On the far right gleams the COR Policy & Procedure Manual tab. It’s too compelling, your pointer is relentlessly drawn towards it. You’re having a William Shatner moment. Must. Click. Tab.
Click.
It’s a masterpiece! Genius! Bravo! Your first glance takes in a ghostly silver sunrise with stylized bubbles that might represent birds in flight. Then you scroll down the entire page and decide the image might represent a twelve step ladder or stacked column with a fountain issuing from the top, and stylized birds wheeling as a flock. Either way, the image gives the impression that this page is a repository bursting with information.
And, on a less artsy and more practical note, this page is a repository bursting at the seams with COR information. There are 12 topics, and under each topic, there are one or more links. Let’s take it from the top:
Confidentiality:
The Administration – Confidentiality link covers FIPPA topics relating to COR and SafetyDriven – TSCBC’s collection, protection, and disclosure of confidential information. Every company should review this section before applying for COR.
Disputes:
If a company has a dispute or issue with a COR decision, the Dispute Resolution page is the rulebook.
Employer Registration:
The first link, COR Terms of Participation, reads like a contract. Every employer needs to read this topic thoroughly before applying for COR.
The second link, Administration – Employer Registration, details the who, how, and what of registering a company for COR. Employer size and classification units are main topics. Reading this topic before registering should help a company understand where they “fit” in the COR program.
External Auditors:
There are five links under the external auditor header. The most important is the Auditor Code of Ethics. All SafetyDriven TSCBC auditors, external or internal, sign the auditor code of ethics and work by its principles. Any company intending to go for COR certification should read the auditor code of ethics. It is important to understand the relationship and rules between the company and the external auditor.
LECOR Auditors
If your company has 20 or more employees, and has decided to go for COR certification, you will eventually need to train one or more employees as a LECOR internal auditor.
LECOR Audits
COR Auditing – Large Employer Audit lands you at a page describing the processes and requirements of the large employer audit. The contents provide a good overview of large employer COR.
Probably, the first form you will look for on our website, when doing your first maintenance audit, is the Notice of Audit (NOA) form. It is acceptable to fill it out by hand, scan it, and submit by email, if a fillable PDF drives you bonkers.
Large Employer Audit Protocol opens a PDF version of the LECOR audit. This version is informational and not intended to be a working copy. It could be used for content review or internal gap analysis of a safety program during the run-up to challenging the COR audit.

Audits are conducted using the Word version, due to the flexibility and edibility relative to a PDF.
