Certificate of Recognition (C.O.R.)

The Certificate of Recognition (C.O.R.) has become a recognized industry safety standard and is now required at major work sites across Saskatchewan and other provinces. Achievement of C.O.R. (May 2005) allows Envirotec to continue to undertake work on prime projects, as well as giving Envirotec a competitive edge for regular services. The model for the C.O.R. safety program was developed by various provincial safety organizations which are funded through Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB).

Envirotec’s achievement of C.O.R.certification translates into a high level of employee health and safety.  Placing the focus on accident prevention benefits everyone – reducing injuries means fewer service disruptions and a more productive and reliable company.  

For information regarding C.O.R.certification, please contact the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association (SCSA).
