TNDC AWARDED CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION (COR) UNDERSCORING COMMITMENT TO WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY

Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC) is pleased to announce it has been awarded a Certificate of Recognition (COR) from WorkSafeBC, reinforcing its commitment to protecting workers and maintaining a progressive safety culture.

COR is a voluntary employer certification program intended to motivate employers to take a proactive role in occupational health and safety. The COR program recognizes and rewards employers who go beyond the current legal requirements, implement an effective occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS), and pass a certification audit to the standards set out by the WorkSafeBC Board.

Over the past 18 months TNDC has been aligning its health and safety practices, processes and procedures with the 14 Elements of COR, as outlined by the BC Construction Safety Alliance – the certifying partner for WorkSafeBC. Certification is conducted by an independent external auditor using three verification techniques: documentation, observations and interviews. TNDC’s COR Health & Safety Audit was held in October 2023.

“The health and safety of our employees and those we work with is TNDC’s top priority. Becoming COR certified is an important strategy to support our goal that everyone goes home safe, while driving TNDC’s strategic growth. Successfully achieving COR – under the leadership of Nick Naugle, TNDC’s Director of Health, Safety & Environment – is a major milestone that will bring significant benefits to our business and reputation, including enhancing TNDC’s competitiveness as a socially responsible Tier 1 mining services provider and employer of choice.” Bruce Gordichuk, President of Construction and Interim Chief Executive Officer.
