Q: What happens if I fall behind?

No stress— we’ll remind you. But if you don’t meet the annual requirements, your certification will lapse and you won’t be eligible for PRIME that year. You can always get back on track the next year.

Q: What do I need to submit?

That depends on your company size and the program year. For example: <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="10" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"> Year 1 focuses on training. <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="10" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"> Year 2+ includes a few key safety documents like hazard assessments and toolbox talks. Group 1 submits less than Group 2. We keep it lean and relevant.

Q: Will I need to do a bunch of paperwork?

Not at all. Documentation is minimal and spaced out over the program’s 3-year cycle. We’ll walk you through everything and even provide templates. It’s designed to fit into your real workday—not take it over.

Q: My company is COR ® certified in another province but we are doing some work in Newfoundland and Labrador. Will our COR ® certification be recognized here?

Although COR ® is a national standard, COR ® Certification must be granted by the Authority Having Jurisdiction in each of the provinces/territories a company works in. COR ® Reciprocity can be granted to companies who are COR ® Certified through a CFCSA member but who do not have a permanent base of operations in the jurisdiction they are requesting reciprocity from. A straightforward process is available to companies that have achieved COR ® and would like to request reciprocity in another jurisdiction. Please contact your provincial/territorial CFCSA member association to request COR ® Reciprocity. Based on your COR ® status with another CFCSA Member, the NLCSA will issue a Letter of Good Standing for bidding purposes. Once you are successful and start work in this province, you must contact the NLCSA to make arrangements to meet any additional, provincial specific, requirements and you must conduct an Internal Audit on your operations in this province. Reciprocity Application forms are available online.

Q: My company is COR ® certified but we recently acquired another company. Does my COR ® status extend to that new company?

No. COR ® certification is awarded to an individual company based on their implementation of an appropriate health and safety program. However, we recognize that it is possible for more than one company to fall under the umbrella of a single health and safety program, particularly when there is common ownership, management and/or workers. If this is the case, you can apply for Multiple Company status. The Multiple Company Application form is available online. In order for the COR ® certification to extend to the new company, the NLCSA will have to conduct an External Audit on the operations of that company.

Q: I have changed the name of my company. How do I get this updated on my COR ® certificate and Letter of Good Standing?

If you have simply changed the name of your company, all you have to do is send a copy of the Articles of Amendment to the NLCSA and we will update our records accordingly. However, if you have started a new company that will be taking over the operations of the COR ® certified company, the NLCSA would have to determine if the new company had successor rights to the original company.
