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.
