The Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations (CFCSA) and its COR® Program are featured in the newly released 10th edition of Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality Auditing - a highly regarded resource within the global safety auditing community.
Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality Auditing by Terri Andrews and Wayne Pardy
In their latest publication, Andrews and Pardy, respected voices in HSEQ auditing, spotlight the CFCSA’s National COR® Accreditation Standard and auditing process. The COR® standard and the national harmonized COR® audit template are prominently profiled (pages 249-296) as a practical, real-world example that closely mirrors the best practices and audit management principles which have stood the test of time.
“We feel that the audit methodology and process closely mirror, in a practical way, the HSEQ audit management processes and principles profiled in our book, so we thought it would be a great example to share with all readers.” - Terri Andrews & Wayne Pardy, Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality Auditing (p. 249)
The authors also extended a special thank you to Sean Scott, Executive Director of the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba (CSAM) and the CFCSA, for their contribution to the publication and for providing the detailed profile of the National COR® Accreditation Standard used in Canada.
