Safety Isn't a Goal — It's a Commitment: The Importance of COR Certified
At Hakai Energy Solutions, safety is more than just a box to check — it’s a fundamental commitment that guides every aspect of our operations. We are proud to be COR® certified, a recognition that reflects our dedication to maintaining the highest standards in occupational health and safety.
What is COR® Certification?
COR® stands for Certificate of Recognition, a nationally recognized occupational health and
safety accreditation program. Administered by the BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA)
and endorsed by WorkSafeBC, the COR® program verifies that an organization has developed
and implemented a comprehensive safety management system that meets or exceeds national
benchmarks.
This means our safety systems are not only documented and audited regularly but are also
proactive, addressing potential hazards before they lead to incidents or injuries.
Why COR® Certification Matters
Being COR® certified demonstrates our commitment to:
- Maintaining proactive safety systems: We don’t wait for accidents to happen. Our safety management processes identify and mitigate risks continuously.
- Meeting rigorous audit requirements: Our systems are regularly audited to ensure ongoing compliance and improvement.
- Reducing risks of incidents and injuries: Through effective safety protocols, we protect our team, clients, and worksites.
- Upholding accountability on every project: Safety is a shared responsibility, and we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards on every site.
Beyond Compliance: A Culture of Safety
For Hakai Energy Solutions, COR® certification is not simply about meeting regulatory requirements. It represents our core value of protecting people and communities. We believe safer workplaces lead to better outcomes for everyone involved — from our employees to the clients we serve.
