PERFORMANCE
- We hold the Certification of Recognition (COR™)
- Since 2016, we have been an accredited member of Alcumus ContractorCheck
The Certificate of Recognition (COR™) program is a National health and safety management system (HSMS), which demonstrates that a constructor’s HSMS has been developed, implemented, and evaluated on an annual basis through comprehensive internal and external audits. The Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA) is the 'Authority having Jurisdiction' to grant COR™ in the province of Ontario.
Alcumus ContractorCheck is a health & safety auditing firm. Their annual health and safety assessment requires us to provide documentation and proof of training, procedures and insurance compliance.
Collectively, these 3rd party certifications serve to assure our clients and project partners that we take health and safety seriously, abide by legislative and client specific requirements as well as mitigate our clients’ risks.
