NEW - National COR® Harmonized Audit Instrument

Glenn Richardson, Manager – Safety Services, NLCSA

In 2021 the Canadian Confederation of Safety Associations approved revisions made to the National COR® Accreditation Standard. During this meeting the majority of members agreed to collaborate in the creation of a harmonized audit instrument template. In June 2022, a NEW harmonized national audit instrument was endorsed for CFCSA members to utilize to verify achievement of the national COR® accreditation standard. The NLCSA will be launching the National COR® Harmonized Audit Instrument in January of 2024.

Your NLCSA Training Records - At Your Fingertips!

Allison Green, Information Systems Coordinator, NLCSA

In an effort to make accessing your training records easy, the NLCSA are moving to a QR based training card. This new process will allow for a quicker turnaround in accessing your NLCSA training records, reduce our production and consumption of paper materials, and provide a more portable way for our members to always have their up-to-date training records accessible.  This new durable card features a QR code that is linked to the NLCSA training database and will replace our existing Safety Training Passport.

We have also updated our NLCSA Member Area which allows employers easy access to worker training records.   Employers can register and allow access to any staff they choose.

Join Allison as she walks you through:

  • How to use your new NLCSA Training Card; and
  • How to access the NLCSA Member Area.
