COR Requirement

The Yukon government continues to support initiatives that increase safety in the workplace by helping mitigate accidents and injuries for the well-being of employers, employees and our Yukon community as a whole.

 

 

 The COR requirement applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more for 2012.

COR is an occupational health and safety certification program.

COR Certification is a tender/contract requirement on Yukon government projects involving construction activities.

The type of work, rather than the type of contract, determines if COR is required.

For this requirement, construction activities include

• road surfacing,
• gravel production, and
• those activities defined by the Yukon Occupational Health and Safety Act -
  erection, alteration, repair, dismantling, demolition, structural maintenance, painting, land clearing, earth moving, grading, excavating, trenching, digging, boring, drilling, blasting, or concreting, and the installation of any machinery.

View these tables containing examples of construction activities that require COR. (This is not an exhaustive list.)

The Yukon government is implementing this requirement in phases. The differences between each phase are the implementation year and the minimum dollar value of the contract.

COR Program - Types of Certification Available

COR (Certificate of Recognition)
for companies with 10 employees or more

SECOR (Small Employer Certificate of Recognition)
for businesses with less than 10 employees during peak times

Businesses at the final stage of becoming COR or SECOR certified may submit a TLC (Temporary Letter of Certification).

Businesses outside of Yukon may obtain  COR or SECOR certification. If these businesses have not finished the certification process and wish to bid on a tender requiring COR, they may submit a COREL (Certificate of Recognition Equivalency Letter).

---

The COR program is administered by Northern Safety Network Yukon (NSNY). Contractors wishing to initiate the certification process or wanting additional information may contact NSNY directly.
