Certificate of Recognition (COR)
A Certificate of Recognition (COR) assesses an organisation's occupational health and safety management system. Businesses can use WHS compliance software to organise safety records. Requirements vary by industry, program and jurisdiction.
In Australia, however, COR can refer to different certification schemes depending on the industry. For example, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority uses Certificate of Recognition for recognising certain overseas STCW seafarer qualifications.
Maintaining clear and current safety records helps demonstrate how an organisation's safety management system operates.
Depending on the applicable program, organisations may need to maintain records relating to areas such as:
The specific evidence required should always be checked against the requirements of the relevant certification program.
Use Complimate to organise WHS documents, digital forms, inspections, audits and corrective actions across your business.
Complimate helps businesses organise compliance documents and inspections. Digital WHS forms support inspections, hazard reports and pre-start checklists.
For organisations that need to maintain structured safety records, Complimate can support activities such as:
Complimate provides a central document hub for policies, procedures, SWMS, WHS plans, registers and compliance records. Documents can include version information and review or expiry dates, helping teams find the current document when needed.
Digital forms can be used for inspections, incident reports, hazard reporting, pre-start checklists and other workplace records. Forms can be accessed through QR codes and mobile devices, with completed records available for review and PDF export.
Teams can use WHS compliance audit software to track corrective actions and maintain supporting evidence.
Instead of relying on separate spreadsheets, paper forms and email attachments, teams can bring documents, forms, sites, assets and compliance activities into one platform.
COR commonly stands for Certificate of Recognition, but the meaning and requirements depend on the specific industry and jurisdiction.
