COR® Internal Maintenance Action Plans

NSNY’s Certification of Recognition (COR®) Internal Maintenance Action Plan offers companies an alternative way to maintain their COR®.

Action Plans allow COR®-holding companies a way to make their health and safety programs better by implementing suggestions for improvements from their previous audits and safety objectives that may be outside of their normal audit scopes.

An Action Plan is comprised of three sections: objectives, milestones, and deliverables.

Watch this presentation to learn about the complete COR® Internal Maintenance Action Plan process.

Step 1: Determine if your company is eligible to participate in the COR® Internal Maintenance Action Plan maintenance option

Please note, the Action Plan can only be completed once per COR audit cycle.

Answer the questions below:

Are you currently holding a regular COR® certificate in good standing?
Do you meet the COR® training requirements, including 50% of full-time supervisors with the Leadership for Safety Excellence training?
Is there a trained Internal Auditor on staff with a valid certificate who has conducted at least one internal audit on the current company?
Have you completed at least one full audit cycle (Year 5 in the graphic above)?
Did your company complete an audit in the previous year (cannot complete 2 I-MAP submissions in an audit cycle)
Did you receive a minimum score of 80% on your last audit?
Can you develop at least one health and safety objective based on the recommendations from your previous external audit?

If you answered yes to all these questions, you are eligible to do an Action Plan! Continue to Step 2.

If you answered no to any of the above questions, stop here. Your company is not eligible to do an Action Plan and you are required to complete the COR® internal maintenance audit.

Step 2: Read the NSNY COR® Internal Maintenance Action Plan instructions document
