Get COR® Certified with Confidence and Support
Achieve compliance, win bids, and unlock WSIB rebates with 4S.
What is Certificate of Recognition (COR®)?
The Certificate of Recognition (COR®) is Ontario’s leading standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It’s a requirement for many construction and public-sector bids, and a proven way to demonstrate due diligence to clients, regulators, and employees. Beyond credibility, COR certification can deliver WSIB rebates, reduce incident costs, and strengthen workplace culture.
At 4S, we provide end-to-end consulting support: job hazard assessments, site inspections, gap analysis, policy development, internal audits, and external audit preparation. Combined with our 4SafeCom™ safety management platform, we digitise training, inspections, and audit records; making COR faster, simpler, and more sustainable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is COR® certification in Ontario?
The Certificate of Recognition (COR®) is Ontario’s leading occupational health and safety management system certification. Required by many construction and public-sector buyers, COR® proves that an organisation has a fully implemented and audited safety program. Certification reduces risk, demonstrates due diligence, and can improve competitiveness in bidding for projects.
If I am COR® certified, can I participate in the WSIB HSEp program?
Yes. COR®-certified companies may qualify for financial incentives through the WSIB Health and Safety Excellence program (HSEp). In addition to rebates, certification can reduce incident related costs and strengthen long-term compliance.

While COR® is most common in construction, it also benefits manufacturing, municipalities, housing, electrical, and service industries. Any business required to demonstrate strong safety programs during bids or tenders can gain a competitive edge by being COR® certified.
