The Challenge
A safety program buried in a filing cabinet is not a safety program. It is a liability.
COR auditors expect to see a living, controlled document system, not a binder that hasn’t been updated since 2019. Your health and safety manual, your safe work practices, your hazard assessments, your policies and procedures: all of it needs to be current, version-controlled, and accessible to the people who need it.
Ontario is the only province where document control is a formal COR audit requirement. But even in Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan, having your safety documents organized, current, and accessible makes your program significantly stronger, and makes our job of managing it far easier.
H&S Manual: last updated 2021, no version record
Safe Work Practice: two versions in circulation, nobody knows which is current
Emergency Response Plan: not linked to any audit element
COR Pathways version-controls every document, tracks approvals, and maps each one to the right COR element automatically.
Document Control
A proper document control system. Built in.
The document registry is your central hub for every safety document in your company, organized, version-controlled, and mapped to your COR audit.
Centralized Document Hub
Every safety document your company produces lives in one place, organized by type, folder, and COR element. Policies, procedures, safe work practices, manuals, and forms are all searchable and accessible to the right people based on their role.
Full Version History
Every document maintains a complete revision history. When you update a policy or procedure, the previous version is archived automatically. Your auditor can see that documents are actively maintained and improved, not just created once and forgotten.
Document Review & Approval
Documents go through a structured review and approval process before they are published. Admins approve, internal auditors review, and the system records every step. Your document control process becomes part of your audit evidence automatically.
Mapped to Your Audit
Every document in the registry is linked to the COR element it supports. When you are building your audit evidence package, the platform knows which documents belong to which element, and flags any elements that are missing supporting documentation.
Master Libraries
Six libraries. Pre-loaded. Ready on day one.
COR Pathways comes with six master libraries built specifically for the construction industry. Instead of building your safety program content from scratch, you start with a comprehensive foundation and customize it to your company.
Hazards
120+ construction hazards
A comprehensive library of construction hazards organized by trade and work type, each with recommended controls. Powers your hazard assessments and safe work practices automatically.
Equipment
Your full equipment inventory
Track every piece of equipment your company owns or operates: make, model, serial number, location, and maintenance schedule. Powers equipment inspection forms and maintenance records.
Tasks
Job and task templates
A library of construction job tasks and work procedures that power your hazard assessments and toolbox talks. Add your own company-specific tasks at any time.
Jobsites
Active project registry
Every active project your company is working on, tracked by location, client, and status. Forms and inspections link to jobsites automatically so your records are always organized by project.
Safety Data Sheets
Chemical and material SDS records
Store and manage Safety Data Sheets for every chemical or hazardous material used on your job sites. Workers can access SDS documents instantly from any device in the field.
Legislation
OH&S regulations reference
A reference library of occupational health and safety regulations relevant to your province and industry. Supports Element 13 (Regulatory Awareness) and keeps your team informed of applicable legal requirements.
Note: Ontario is the only province with formal document control requirements under COR. In Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan, the libraries and document registry are still fully available and are strongly recommended for SE-COR program management — they simply are not a scored audit element in those provinces.
Equipment & Maintenance
Your equipment maintenance program. Tracked and documented.
Element 7 of the COR 2020 standard requires a documented preventative maintenance program. COR Pathways handles this through the equipment library and maintenance module — every piece of equipment has a maintenance schedule, inspection records, and deficiency reports attached to it.
When a piece of equipment is inspected and a deficiency is found, a corrective action is created automatically and tracked to resolution. Your maintenance program is not just documented — it is actively managed and audit-ready at all times.
- Equipment maintenance schedules with automated reminders
- Deficiency reports with corrective action tracking
- Full maintenance history per equipment item — exportable for audit
