Small employers seeking SAFE and/or COR Certification must train a permanent employee or owner to be an internal auditor:
Only COR certification requires auditor refresher training. Small employers seeking a COR incentive payment must train a permanent employee or owner before audits are submitted. This person must complete refresher training every three years and perform at least two audits every three years in order to keep their auditor status. If status is lost, they or another permanent employee must retake their initial training.
There is no mandatory training requirement for larger employers. Certification and re-certification audits must be performed by a BCFSC certified BASE external auditor. Maintenance audits may be performed by either a BCFSC certified BASE external auditor, or a permanent employee who has completed BASE Internal Auditor training.
