Audit Peak Season
November – February is our audit peak season; CCSA typically sees about 80% of the audits come in during this time. Audits submitted during this time will typically see a 4-6 week turn around rather than 2-3 weeks.
2019 Audit Season Reminders
Reminder all audits must have the data collection and Post Audit Meeting completed by Dec 31/19.

Please be sure to contact CCSA before you start your audit to let us know of the start date.
2020 Audit COR Maintenance options
Internal Audit
Audits must either be conducted by an internal auditor. If your organization does not currently have a certified internal auditor, auditor training sessions will be scheduled for the new year. Watch your email for more details. If organizations choose, they can hire an external auditor to complete the maintenance audit.
Action Plan
Your organization must:
Have achieved 90% or greater on your COR Recertification Audit
Have 150+ employees
If you meet the above and are planning to do an action plan, the application must be submitted by March 31st, 2020. Any action plans submitted after that date will not be accepted.
New for 2020
Corrective Action Report (CAR) – trial for 2020
The CAR process allows an employer to have an assessment conducted of their OHSMS using the documentation and observation questions from the CP’s audit document, but without the requirement to conduct staff interviews.
The CAR is completed by a certified auditor, who together with the employer develops a detailed plan for correction of deficiencies and identification of improvements to the employer’s OHSMS.
If you believe your site may be a good candidate for this option, please contact CCSA.
