COR benefits
Employers possessing one or more Certificates of Recognition (CORs) make a strong statement about how much they value their workers and how committed they are to following best industry practices, which, in turn, make them more competitive in business.
Employer benefits
The reward for this new, higher level of accountability is, first and foremost, a safer, healthier workforce - but there are important financial benefits as well. Rebates of up to 15% off WorkSafeBC premiums are possible. Employers who obtain the Health and Safety COR may receive an annual 10% rebate on their WorkSafeBC premiums, and those who also possess the Injury Management/Return-to-Work COR are eligible for an additional 5%. There is a total of 15% rebate available to employers.
Over time, with reduced injuries and shorter claims duration, certified employers' experience-rated WorkSafeBC premiums will reflect additional savings. Also, in some industries, CORs are becoming a requirement as a prequalification to bid on work contracts.
