PIR/COR

Partnerships in Injury Reduction is a joint project of Alberta Employment and Immigration, the Workers' Compensation Board - Alberta, and certifying partners like AMHSA.

The program helps municipalities earn financial incentives (refunds) by implementing effective health and safety management systems. All Alberta municipalities are eligible to participate in this voluntary program.

Certifying Partners such as AMHSA, issue a Certificate of Recognition (COR) or Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR) which recognize that an employer's health and safety management system has been evaluated by a certified auditor and meets the PIR standards. Municipalities must receive a COR to qualify for a WCB rebate.

How do I get started?

Step 1 – Register in PIR with WCB. Specify AMHSA as Certifying Partner.

Step 2 – Implement a Health and Safety Management System.

Step 3 – Audit the system (external).

Step 4 – Audit is submitted to AMHSA (by auditor).

Step 5 – AMHSA reviews the audit and sends results to AEI.

Step 6 – AEI informs WCB of results and employer is eligible for financial incentives
