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 digitize training, inspections, and audit records; making COR faster, simpler, and more sustainable.

Thank you team!
A special thank you to Daniela Banda Marin, who has been outstanding. She has guided our organization through the roadmap to achieve COR, and she has an exceptional ability to explain complex requirements in ways that resonate with our workers, supervisors, and senior managers. I truly can’t say enough about the effort she’s put in and the positive impact she has made on our company.
More recently, Prabhjot Kaur stepped in as our project manager alongside our project coordinator, Zahra Jaffer, and they’ve made significant efforts to understand our operations and goals.
4SafeCom is an exceptional company with incredible people who genuinely care. I truly feel like the team at 4SafeCom is an extension of our own team.
A special thank-you to Chloe, who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge have been instrumental in keeping us on track and helping us strengthen our health and safety program.
Highly recommend 4S Consulting to any organization looking for reliable, knowledgeable support for WSIB, COR, and safety compliance.
I would especially like to recognize Amreet Kaur Bhullar, Associate Manager, who has been extremely helpful, resourceful, and professional. Her support and clear communication played a key role in keeping us on track and addressing audit requirements effectively. We truly value our partnership with 4S Consulting Services and highly recommend them to any organization seeking reliable health and safety consulting and COR support.
At one point, our project wasn’t in the best place, and Jamila stepped in and absolutely saved the day. Her clear, back-to-basics project management approach brought everything back on track and gave us the direction and confidence we needed to move forward.
Her site visits and gap assessments are thorough, practical, and incredibly helpful. Jamila explains each step in a way that’s easy to understand, and she always follows through with whatever is needed. Her commitment, responsiveness, and strong leadership really stand out, and it’s clear she takes great pride in representing 4S.
Thanks to Jamila’s guidance and project management support, our experience with 4S has been excellent, and we’re making strong progress in the WSIB Excellence Program.
I highly recommend Jamila and 4S to any organization looking to build a stronger health and safety foundation.
