COR / SECOR Consulting & Audit Prep

Preparing for a COR or SECOR audit shouldn't mean scrambling through old Word documents the week before your certification deadline. LifeVits provides COR/SECOR readiness, program development, and internal audits for Alberta contractors and industrial operators.

COR / SECOR readiness & internal audits

We build and maintain the documentation, records, and internal audit trail your Certifying Partner will expect to see — job hazard assessments, safe work procedures, inspection records, training documentation, and incident reporting, all organized and ready before your audit date.

An important distinction: Alberta generally does not allow a consultant who helped build your safety management system to also perform your official external certification audit. LifeVits focuses on program development, gap assessments, internal audits, and getting your SMS genuinely ready for certification or maintenance audits — not issuing COR certification itself.

What COR / SECOR readiness includes

• Safety management system (SMS) development and documentation
• Internal mock audits against COR/SECOR audit tool criteria
• Corrective action tracking and closure
• JHA, SWP, and SOP development or updates
• Employee training record organization
• Ongoing maintenance between audit cycles

Why this matters for your bids

Many Alberta public tenders and prime contractor prequalification processes require COR as a condition of bidding. Falling out of good standing, or scrambling to get certified after already winning work, puts real contracts at risk. A maintained, audit-ready program means COR renewal is routine, not a fire drill.
