Aecon was pleased to recently be presented with the Certificate of Recognition (COR鈩) in Ontario by the Infrastructure Health & Safety Association (IHSA). The addition of the COR Ontario certification to Aecon鈥檚 COR certification in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia is evidence of Aecon鈥檚 commitment to our 鈥淪afety First鈥 core value and being an industry leader in Health and Safety.
Workplaces that achieve COR鈩 certification demonstrate that they are controlling hazards and risks on their worksites through the development of appropriate standards, employee communications and training, as well as regular reviews.
The certification recognizes achievement of the standard through a comprehensive third-party audit that includes a documentation review, employee interviews and workplace observations.
The COR鈩 certification is trademarked nationwide and sanctioned by participating members of the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Association (CFCSA).
鈥淎econ is pleased to accept this recognition and proud to be one of the first companies to receive the COR鈩 distinction,鈥 said Mike Archambault, Aecon鈥檚 Vice President of Safety and Insurance. 鈥淪afety is at the core of everything we do at Aecon and it鈥檚 very rewarding to have a third party recognize our safety program.鈥
