The City of Ottawa is making it mandatory for companies who bid on large contracts to be HSMS certified.
The HSMS Certification includes:
Certificate of Recognition (COR) is an Occupational Health and Safety accreditation program which verifies that a construction-related company’s health and safety program meets national standard.
COR is nationally trademarked and endorsed by participating members of the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations (CFCSA).
Your company will ensure a safe and healthy workplace, will have a competitive advantage for work contracts with buyers of construction who make COR a requirement for bidding and will make financial saving by reducing the workplace injuries and illnesses.
