When it comes to fence installation in British Columbia, safety, reliability, and professionalism are non-negotiable. That’s where COR® certification comes in. The Certificate of Recognition (COR®) is a prestigious program that recognizes companies for implementing top-tier occupational health and safety systems.
At Raybern Erectors, achieving COR® certification means every project we undertake is performed under strict safety standards, protecting our team, your property, and the community.
In this post, we’ll explain what COR® certification is, why it matters, and provide real-world examples of how it benefits our clients.
What is COR® Certification?
COR® (Certificate of Recognition) is a voluntary certification program in British Columbia designed to promote workplace safety. Companies that achieve COR® certification have proven systems in place to identify hazards, reduce risks, and protect workers.
Although it’s not mandatory, COR® is widely respected in the construction and industrial sectors. By adhering to COR® standards, companies demonstrate a commitment to safety, quality, and professionalism—values that are particularly crucial for complex fence installation projects.

Choosing a COR® certified contractor like Raybern Erectors provides tangible advantages for both commercial and residential clients:

Whether it’s a small backyard fence or a large-scale commercial installation, these benefits make a significant difference in project outcomes and client satisfaction.
How COR® Impacts Fence Installation Projects
COR® certification isn’t just a badge—it directly influences how we plan, execute, and manage fence installations:
- Risk Assessment: Each site is thoroughly evaluated for potential hazards before work begins.
- Trained Personnel: Our team members are certified in specialized skills like welding, boomlift operation, and safety management.
- Continuous Improvement: Regular internal audits and third-party inspections ensure safety standards are not only met but exceeded.
By following these protocols, we can deliver secure, durable fencing solutions without compromising safety or quality.
Real-World Case Studies
On behalf of Victoria PlayCo, we installed the inner barriers for the pickleball courts at Willoughby Community Park in Langley. The project featured 4′ tall fencing with 6-gauge, vinyl-coated black mesh, tied with steel wire every second knuckle along the rails. For functionality, the mesh was installed with a 1″ gap above the surface to allow for easy leaf blowing and painting. By applying COR® safety standards throughout the installation, we ensured a safe and efficient project that delivered durability and compliance for a municipal sports facility.
The Resort Municipality of Whistler required guardrail installation set to MMCD specifications along a stretch of highway. Our team, experienced in mountain mobilization, delivered this project under strict COR® safety protocols to ensure secure installation in challenging conditions. Every step, from planning to final inspection, emphasized safety, compliance, and long-term reliability.
For a residential client in Vancouver, we designed and installed a minimalist black powder-coated handrail, welded and bolted into concrete for maximum stability. Even for smaller residential projects, our adherence to COR® safety certification ensures that all work meets professional standards. The result was a sleek, durable handrail that provided both safety and aesthetic appeal in the client’s backyard.
