Step-by-Step Guide to COR/OSSE Certification for Large Businesses
The Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC (Alliance) provides training and resources to help large businesses (those with 20 employees or more) every step of the way, ensuring your success in achieving and maintaining COR/OSSE certification.
Step 1: Get Registered
The Alliance is a certifying partner for WorkSafeBC’s COR certification process and can help you start your journey towards COR/OSSE Certification.
Step 2: Connect with our OHS Audit Team
Book a COR/OSSE meeting with our team, they can review the requirements and build you a customized step-by-step OHS Road Map on how to reach COR/OSSE certification.
They will plan with you on how to:
- Build a customized OHS Road Map for you and your company
- Conduct a readiness review to estimate your audit score for your business.
- The OHS Audit Team may connect you with other Alliance departments to meet training requirements or to receive additional advising support.
- This includes helping your business create and implement OHS programs to meet requirements.
Step 3: Schedule an audit
As you near the end of your OHS Road Map:
- Secure an external auditor through our OHS Audit Team
- Your certified OSSE External Auditor will complete an OSSE audit package and submit it for review
The completed audit package is sent to the OHS Audit Team for QA review. An OHS audit advisor will connect with your external auditor regarding your audit results.
After a successful QA review, the COR/OSSE certificate is issued by WorkSafeBC. Companies are responsible for conducting audits annually to maintain COR/OSSE certification status.
