How to Pass a COR Audit · Alberta & Canada
Passing a COR audit is not about producing more paperwork. It is about making sure your health and safety system and operational records line up when the auditor tests them.

Companies often treat COR like a paperwork exercise. That approach backfires. Auditors are looking for evidence that your health and safety management system is functioning in practice: responsibilities are clear, hazards are being assessed, corrective actions are tracked, and workers understand how the system works.
If any one of those pieces is weak, the audit can unravel through interviews, missing records, or field verification that does not support the written program.
Documentation: your manuals, procedures, and records need to be complete, current, and internally consistent.
Worker understanding: supervisors and workers need to be able to explain how the system works in daily operations.
Field reality: the audit must be able to see evidence that matches what the program claims.
If your team is close to an audit date, COR audit preparation support is usually the fastest way to reduce risk.
