COR Program for BC Agriculture
FARSHA will launch the Certificate of Recognition (COR) program to BC agriculture, January 2012. The COR program is an incentive program that recognizes and rewards employers for implementing effective Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Return to Work (RTW) programs that demonstrate commitment to workplace health and safety. Participation in this program is voluntary.

Employers who successfully participate in the program will receive rebates of up to 15% of the assessment premiums paid to WorkSafeBC in the previous year. Employers can expect a 10% rebate by successfully completing an occupational health and safety program audit. They can earn a further 5% rebate by passing an audit of their return to work program.
