What's included

A policy statement that holds up in an audit interview.

✓ Editable Word document (.docx) with complete starter policy language
✓ Responsibilities of the employer, supervisors, and workers — the content s.3.3(a) calls for
✓ Commitments covering legal compliance, hazard control, training, PPE, incident investigation, and consultation with your joint committee or worker representative
✓ Signature block and a dated review & revision log — auditors look for review history

A formal written health and safety program is a legal requirement for employers with 20 or more workers at a moderate- or high-hazard workplace, or 50 or more workers (OHS Regulation s.3.1). Smaller employers aren't required to have one by that section, but COR certification asks for it regardless of size.

This is element 1 of 13. The COR Small-Employer Kit covers the other twelve.
