Built for Ontario's growing contractors

You're winning work and expanding. The safety program that got you here won't get you where you're going — especially when clients start requiring COR.

You're the right fit if your firm:

  • Has 15–75 employees in civil, utilities, excavation, or ICI construction
  • Is actively bidding City of Ottawa, Hydro Ottawa, or Infrastructure Ontario contracts
  • Doesn't have a dedicated, senior EHS director on staff
  • Is facing COR certification requirements on a current or upcoming bid
  • Holds ISO 45001 and wants to confirm COR bid eligibility under Bill 30
  • Has had a compliance gap, order, or audit result that keeps you up at night

What you get with AuditGuard:

  • A CRSP-designated, COR and ISO 45001 certified lead auditor — on your side
  • Field-tested systems that work in the trench as well as the boardroom
  • Strategic EHS advice without adding a full-time salary
  • Documentation that stands up to external audits and client prequalification
  • An EHS program that supports your bid pipeline, not blocks it

Bill 30 changed the rules for Ontario contractors. ISO 45001 is now legislated as equivalent to COR — but owners are interpreting the new rules independently. We help you confirm exactly where you stand before your next bid submission.

The clear path to COR and ISO 45001

Whether you're building from scratch, closing gaps before an audit, or need ongoing senior EHS leadership — there's a clear path to qualifying for the work you want.

Fast-Track Assessment • Time-Sensitive Act Now
ISO 45001 → COR Equivalency Review

Hold ISO 45001 but need COR bid eligibility? Most contractors assume equivalency is automatic — it isn't. We confirm your certificate qualifies, identify any IHSA scope gaps, and give you a clear written path to bid-ready status.

  • IAF accreditation & certificate scope verification
  • IHSA equivalency requirements assessment
  • Gap identification with written findings report
  • Clear next-steps roadmap for bid eligibility
$1,200 CAD • delivered within 5 business days

Senior expertise. Zero overhead.

Most safety consultants can prepare you. We can also audit you — and that's a fundamental difference.

Certified to audit COR and ISO 45001

One of very few consultants in Ontario who can prepare your program AND sign off as certified lead auditor for both frameworks. Removes cost and friction most firms don't realize they're carrying.

🏗

Real civil and utility sector experience

Over a decade leading EHS on major civil, utilities, and infrastructure projects across Ontario. We understand the trench, not just the policy manual.

📈

EHS that supports your bid pipeline

Compliance is a business issue. We position your program to reduce insurance costs, strengthen pre-qualifications, and help you win work — not just pass audits.

🔒

Discreet, confidential, professional

All work is delivered under the AuditGuard brand. Your program details, audit findings, and business information are handled with complete professional discretion.

COR is no longer optional
on major Ontario projects

Infrastructure Ontario, the City of Ottawa, Hydro One, and major GCs are requiring COR as a pre-qualification condition. Small and mid-sized contractors who haven't started the process are already missing bids.

Ontario's Working for Workers Seven Act (Bill 30) now legislates ISO 45001 as equivalent to COR — but every owner interprets the new rules independently. Contractors are assuming they're bid-eligible. Many aren't. We tell you exactly where you stand and fix what's in the way.
