Small
Employer
Certificate of Recognition Program
Program for Small Companies
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.
