Safety Solutions for
Alberta Businesses

COR (Certificate of Recognition) is an Alberta health and safety certification that verifies a company has a complete and effective safety management system. Certified with AASP and Energy Safety Canada, COR companies qualify for WCB premium refunds and are preferred by general contractors on large projects.

SECOR is for Alberta employers with fewer than 11 employees at peak times. COR is for larger employers. Both require a documented health and safety management system and a formal audit. SECOR is simpler, less costly, and ideal for small contractors, trades, and service companies.

Alberta employers must provide WHMIS training and Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention training. COR companies also require JHSC training, inspection training, hazard identification, and incident investigation training. All available in our Online Training section with instant certificates.

For small contractors (1–20 workers), Site App Pro offers the best value. For growing COR companies (20–200 workers), SiteDocs is the strongest choice. For large organizations with heavy training needs, BISTrainer is the most comprehensive Canadian platform. See our full comparison in the Safety Software section.

With a complete safety program already in place, most companies achieve COR certification within 3 to 6 months. Starting from scratch typically takes 6 to 12 months. Our done-for-you products significantly reduce this timeline.

Not necessarily. Many companies self-implement using our downloadable programs and templates. Our products are designed for self-implementation — you can achieve COR or SECOR certification without ongoing consulting fees. Guided support is also available.
