SECOR™ Program
The Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR™) Program is an occupational health and safety certification program for small Yukon employers (less than 10 employees). Aimed at reducing the human and financial costs of workplace accidents and injuries, the SECOR™ Program helps companies develop and maintain company-wide safety programs and introduce standardized safety training.
SECOR™ helps Yukon employers understand territorial occupational health and safety legislation and regulations, including employer and worker rights and responsibilities. Understanding these rights and obligations helps industries avoid liability, while also ensuring regulatory due diligence.
Yukon companies are continuously faced with competitive issues, such as declining markets, intense competition, and escalating operating costs. The SECOR™ Program is a tool companies can use to reduce costs, improve profitability, and further professionalize their industry.
The SECOR™ Program is offered in partnership between the Northern Safety Network Yukon (NSNY) and the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board (YWCHSB). The program is administered by the Northern Safety Network Yukon and is available to all small Yukon employers with less than 10 employees.
