Alberta Businesses: Provincial Average

Industry Sectors Dept: And in a province where the oil and gas, construction and heavy industry sectors continue to grow, the role of in-house health and safety professionals, and the officers hired by the province to conduct inspections and identify areas of improvement, is only expected to grow, according to Calgary Herald. "In Alberta, we see a 40 per cent reduction in lost-time claim rates and disabling injury rates in the first two years with a COR," he says. "And there's a 50 per cent lower annual fatality rate compared to the provincial average. The numbers have been decreasing since 2006." Unless your name is Evel Knievel, you probably want your workplace to be as safe as possible. Alberta businesses can apply for a Certificate of Recognition, awarded after passing an audit of in-house safety policies, says Lloyd Harman, vicepresident of operations for Enform: The Safety Association for Canada's Upstream Oil and Gas Industry, and a certified partner in assigning CORs. As reported in the news.
