Questions
Is my pit under the mines act or the OHS law?
It depends where it is. Section 15 sets out, for each jurisdiction, which law governs a pit, a quarry and a surface mine, who the regulator is, how to report a serious incident there, and where we couldn’t confirm a rule in the official text, who to check with.
Is it laid out for COR?
Yes, on the 14 national elements every harmonized COR audit shares, with all 74 documentation questions cross-referenced. Each province’s certifying partner uses its own audit tool, so check the manual against the one you are certifying with. No template can promise a pass.
Do the exposure control plans cover every province too?
Yes. Every plan comes in 14 editions, one for each province and territory and one for federal workplaces, each in English and French, all in one purchase.
Do you discount the manual and plans together?
Yes. Two or more templates in one order take the multi-template discount automatically at checkout: 10% off 2, 15% off 3, 20% off 4 or more.
