Safety
Audit Procedures
Audits provide an assessment of the current
state of an organization's safety program and will identify specific areas where
improvements to the system can be made. These audits can also support a company
who believes their organization is ready to be independently audited to achieve
COR™ Certification within the program mandate.
Presently, the program is being monitored by both internal audits and independent
audits.

Accreditation/Certification
Upon successful completion and passing of a CSAM internal audit, a company
may apply for program certification. An independent audit must be
conducted by credited safety personnel whose credentials are approved
by the CSAM program. This independent auditor must be completely
out of the scope of the CSAM program. The company must pass this
audit before they can receive a Certificate of Recognition and COR™ status.
Initial COR™ Certification

Year 2

Audit Costs
Companies requesting an independent safety audit will be assessed
a fee of $250 for that audit and each year thereafter that a company
holds program certification. This annual fee will offset independent
audit costs for accreditation with the balance of the costs being
absorbed within the current CSAM operating budget.
COR™ Program Guidelines
It should be noted
that all internal audit costs performed prior to the independent
audit will still be absorbed from within the CSAM existing program
budget.
