Tender Requirement - COR
At Yukon Energy, safety is a part of every decision we make and every action we take. Since construction work involves high-risk activities, safety practices are essential. That is why Yukon Energy is implementing a Certificate of Recognition (COR) requirement for companies that do construction work for us. We are phasing in this requirement in three stages:
- Phase 1: in effect July 1, 2010. This applies to contracts valued at $500,000 or more
- Phase 2: in effect July 1, 2011. This applies to contracts valued at $100,000 or more
- Phase 3: in effect July 1, 2012. This applies to construction contracts of any value
What is COR?
COR is a set of programs that provide Yukon businesses with occupational health and safety certification. COR programs aim to reduce both human and financial costs related to workplace accidents and injuries.
Northern Safety Network Yukon is a non-profit organization that administers and delivers the COR programs, which are available to all Yukon businesses from large corporations to owner/operators.
Tender Requirement
The need for COR or SECOR certification will be identified by the contracting authority in the tender documents.
Businesses bidding on these tenders must submit proof of their certification with their bid documentation. Successful bids must maintain their certification until the project is completed.
Other Certification Options
Businesses at the final stage of becoming COR or SECOR certified may submit a Temporary Letter of Certification.
Businesses from other jurisdictions may submit a Yukon COR or SECOR certificate or a COR Equivalency Letter.
