This new award program has the same criteria as the IHSA Recognition of Performance Achievement Milestone, except that it is only open to IHSA member firms that have achieved and maintained their Certificate of Recognition (COR^®). COR^® is a national standard for recognizing a well-functioning health and safety management system.

On a quarterly basis, IHSA will notify COR^® certified firms when they have reached the first milestone for their firm size or any multiples of their milestone.
