Small Employer Certificate of Recognition - SECOR
Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR)
The Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR) program is a proven way for small employers to improve their health and safety performance, create a culture of proactive workplace health and safety, and reduce the risk and costs associated with workplace incidents.
With a validated health and safety management system, companies can identify and assess their workplace risks, then systematically control hazards to protect their people. This ongoing process allows companies to build a culture of proactive workplace health and safety that meet compliance with occupational health and safety (OH&S) regulations and promotes continuous improvement.
Please be advised that in order to qualify for the Small Employer program your company may have no more than 10 employees. This number must take into account all staff that are covered under the WCB account. This includes owners, managers, clerical or administrative staff, part-time workers, temporary staff, family members and volunteers.
Health and Safety Administrator - HSA
The primary objective of this program is to provide formal training for an administrator of a Health & Safety program, who does not have a minimum of three years construction field experience.
Certification indicates that the participant has knowledge in various Health & Safety management skills and principles.

➔ Update to COR Audit Processing Timelines
The ACSA Certificate of Recognition department has received numerous concerns regarding the wait time for companies receiving their audit results. At this time, we would like to address these concerns. The COR Department has experienced unforeseen changes in addition to reviewing the current practices within the department. This transition period has resulted in the members and auditors experiencing longer than usual set-up and review times for COR/SECOR audits and evaluations. Please bear with us during this time of transition and accept our sincerest apologies for any impact this has on your company. We understand your frustrations, concerns and the urgency of timely audit results. The ACSA has taken steps to rectify the issues that have arisen and will work to finish everything as quickly as possible, while continuing to meet quality and industry standards.
If your company received a notification from the WCB regarding your Partnerships in Injury Reduction Rebate: As long as your audit is completed within the calendar year (no later than December 31, 2014) and submitted within 45 days, your audit will be processed for 2014, and will be eligible for 2014 PIR rebates.
If you have any questions, please contact the COR Department toll free at 1-800-661-2272 or locally in the Edmonton area at 780-453-3311.
