COR & SECOR Audit Services

Internal and External COR and SECOR Audits — Conducted by an ACSA-Approved COR Auditor

Your COR and SECOR Certification, Handled by an Expert

The Certificate of Recognition (COR) and Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR) are more than certifications. They are proven indicators that your safety management system meets the highest provincial standards. As an ACSA-Approved COR Auditor, Trisha-May conducts internal COR and SECOR audits — preparing your organization thoroughly before your external certification audit.

The audit process is rigorous, detailed, and unforgiving of gaps. With extensive experience conducting internal and external COR and SECOR audits across Alberta's oil and gas and construction sectors, we prepare your organization to not just complete the audit, but to emerge with a stronger, more functional safety program.

What We Offer

Internal COR Audits

Precertification audits to assess your current safety management system against COR standards, identify gaps, and develop a corrective action plan before your external audit.

Gap Analysis

A detailed review of your existing documentation and programs to identify what's missing and what needs strengthening before your audit.

Corrective Action Support

After audit findings are identified, we help you develop and implement corrective actions to close gaps efficiently and effectively.

Audit Preparation Coaching

Before your audit, preparation with your management team and key employees to ensure everyone is confident and ready to participate on audit day.

Audit Maintenance Support

Ongoing assistance to keep your safety management system audit ready year round, not just at renewal time.
