About COR Modernization
Why are we doing it?
As our construction industry grows more complex, our Certificate of Recognition (COR) and Small Employer COR (SECOR) programs must keep pace with its safety needs.
The Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA) is modernizing our COR and SECOR programs to keep them practical, relevant, and adaptable for our members and industry.
What are your challenges with workplace health and safety in Alberta construction? We need to hear from you.
Every perspective is important, from workers with boots on the ground to those developing safety policy, and whether you have COR, SECOR, or neither.
What will we do with your feedback?
Your feedback will shape the future of COR/SECOR. Your insights and experiences will inform the COR Modernization working group and research phase.
Survey
The survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who gave their time and insights to completing the survey.
