OAKVILLE, ON, Feb. 4, 2020 /CNW/ - Spark Power Group Inc.
(TSX: SPG), ("Spark", "Spark Power", or "Parent
Company") is pleased to announce that its High Voltage Services
division has achieved COR™ Certification ("COR") in the
province of Ontario, effective
January 27, 2020, as administered by
the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association
("IHSA").
COR™ is a national industry-wide safety standard and a
requirement for businesses looking to bid on public and private
sector construction and electrical service projects.
To earn COR™ accreditation, its High Voltage Services division
is required to develop, implement, and be annually evaluated on its
Health and Safety Management System, through extensive audits both
internally and by IHSA. Details of the audit include interviews,
documentation review, and observation techniques to evaluate how
well the High Voltage Services division can identify, assess, and
control potential risks and safety hazards to employees.
"Achieving COR™ certification provides us with a base standard
on which we intend to build the best possible Health and Safety
program in the electrical industry," said Matt James, Director of Health, Safety,
Environment, and Quality. "We could not have achieved our
certification without a daily company-wide commitment to our safety
program from our employees, supervisors, and managers. They are the
ones who deserve the recognition for helping Spark Power continue
its goal—Only Zero Is Acceptable!"
"The safety and wellbeing of our employees is truly our number
one priority," said Jason Sparaga,
Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Spark Power Corp. "Achieving COR™
accreditation is a testament to our commitment to protecting the
health and safety of all our employees, of proactively eliminating
workplace injuries and illnesses, and bringing superior safety
practices to our customers. I am proud of the safety culture we've
built to date and look forward to expanding our accreditation for
the remaining lines of businesses and provinces in which we work,
as we continue to expand our footprint across North America," added Sparaga.
In accordance with Spark Power's strategic Health and Safety
commitments and dedication to continuous improvement, Spark is
committed to achieving COR™ certification for the rest of its
Ontario divisions over the course
of 2020. Other regions in which Spark has achieved COR™
certification include Nova Scotia,
Manitoba, and Alberta.
