Getting to the COR of the Matter

Are you a contrator who does work for us? Then here's some information that's important for you to know about.

You will soon be required to be Certificate of Recognition (COR) certified. The COR is issued to employers who develop and implement health and safety programs that meet the highest safety standards as set out by the Northern Safety Network and the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board. 

Yukon Energy became COR certified last year. Now, in continuing our efforts to make Yukon Energy as safe a workplace as it can possibly be, we are phasing in the COR requirement as part of our tendering and contracting process.

Phase I will become effective July 1, 2010 and applies to construction contracts valued at $500,000 or more.

Phase II begins July 1, 2011 and applies to construction contracts valued at $100,000 or more.

Phase III begins July 1, 2012 and applies to construction contracts of any value.
