Breaking Down the Roadblocks to COR Certification for Small Businesses

June 2nd, 2026 10:00-11:00AM
If you operate a small business in B.C., this webinar is for you.

If your business employs fewer than 20 people, the idea of pursuing COR certification to the Occupational Safety Standard of Excellence (OSSE) might seem unnecessary or overwhelming.

So we’ve invited small business operators who made the decision to get certified to talk about why they did it, how it worked, and what the impact has been for their businesses.

Join us for this session as we hear how they addressed time and resource constraints, lack of expertise, and overcame their fears about audits. Learn how they broke down the barriers to achieve COR/OSSE certification, and how they are still reaping the benefits.  

Get insight from this panel of small businesses on how you can make your workplace safer and more efficient—simply and cost effectively. 

In this webinar you will learn

  • Why no business is too small for COR/OSSE certification. 
  • How the certification process can improve safety culture, productivity, and morale—and increase profit.  
  • Where to find resources and training to educate your team. 
  • The actual costs of COR/OSSE certification. [How you can get certified for free.]
