Partnerships in Health and Safety Program (COR)
Partnerships in Health and Safety Program is based on the premise that when employers and workers voluntarily build effective health and safety programs in their own workplaces, the human and financial costs of workplace injuries and illnesses will be reduced.  The department believes that supporting health and safety programs leads to larger reductions in injuries than regulatory compliance alone.

Through partnerships with safety associations, industry groups, education institutes and labour organizations, a framework has been established to promote and certify health and safety programs.

Manpower Alberta achieved the Certificate of Recognition (COR) with 97.22% score as part of the voluntary Partnerships in Health and Safety Program from the Alberta Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) and Alberta Human Resources and Employment.  The award recognizes the company for its ongoing commitment to providing a safe working environment for employees.  A COR recognizes that the health and safety management system of an employer has been evaluated by an auditor and found to meet the standards of Partnerships. Manpower is the only staffing service in Alberta that has achieved this certification.

Construction Safety Training System (CSTS)
As a member of the Alberta Construction Safety Association, EMPOWER a division of Manpower Professional has the capability in all of its Alberta offices to offer CSTS certification. This is a benefit that is offered free of charge to any EMPOWER employee who requires it for any worksite. As this certification is a requirement for many work sites, EMPOWER has found it to be a very timely and effective way of meeting this need.
