COR Audit Checklist · Alberta & Canada
Use this checklist as a fast readiness screen before your audit. It will not replace a full gap assessment, but it will help you identify where the process is most likely to break down.
Book a 30-Minute ConsultationChecklist
Before the audit starts, your team should be able to answer yes to most of the questions below. If too many answers are unclear, you likely need a preparation review before moving forward.
Are policies, procedures, hazard assessments, inspections, training records, incident records, and corrective actions current and easy to retrieve?
Can workers and supervisors explain how hazards are identified, incidents are reported, and corrective actions are followed up?
Does what happens in the field actually match what the documents say should happen?
Can leadership explain roles, responsibilities, review practices, and how safety performance is monitored?
If the checklist reveals uncertainty, the next step is usually audit preparation support or a broader COR audit services discussion.

How It Works
We review where you are in the audit cycle, what documentation already exists, and what pressure points are most likely to affect the outcome.
We identify the specific deficiencies that put your audit, corrective action plan, or renewal at risk and prioritize what needs to change first.
We help tighten documentation, interview readiness, verification evidence, and leadership understanding so the audit process is less exposed.
A checklist helps you spot risk. A consultation turns that into a scoped plan with priorities, timelines, and the right level of support.
