The WCB offers firms in the construction industry an opportunity for a 5 per cent or 10 per cent rate discount through the COR™ (Certificate of Recognition) program.

To obtain COR accreditation, an employer must undergo a safety training program, develop a company safety manual, develop and implement a health and safety program, and pass an independent safety audit.

COR certification is administered by the Manitoba Heavy Construction Association Work Safely Program (MHCSP) and the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba (CSAM). Both associations are members of the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations and are authorized to grant the national COR standard in the Province of Manitoba.

Over 50 per cent of the workers in Manitoba’s construction industry work for a COR certified company. The initiative is self-funded by all construction employers in Manitoba. There is no additional cost to employers in other industries.

For more information on the COR program, visit CSAM or MHCSP or call 1-800-362-3340.

Please note: Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada also offers a safety certification program (Certificate of Achievement in Safety and Health) but the WCB does not offer an incentive for this program.
