Certificate of Recognition (COR®) is Ontario’s recognized health and safety management system standard for construction and related sectors, granted by the Infrastructure Health & Safety Association (IHSA). It uses a rigorous national audit to verify that our safety program is not just written — it’s implemented and effective.

Our philosophy in action
At B.E. Construction, Quality, Integrity, and Collaboration aren’t slogans — they’re how we build. COR® 2020 formalizes that commitment on every site, with every partner, on every shift.
