Georg UK, one of the UK's leading manufacturers of coil processing machinery and special purpose testing machines, is proud to announce it has been awarded ISO 45001:2018 certification for its Occupational Health & Safety Management System.
ISO 45001 is an international standard that provides a framework for managing health and safety in the workplace. This certification recognises Georg UK's commitment to reduce workplace injuries and promote the physical and mental health of its employees.
Neil Wyke, Managing Director of Georg UK said:
"I'm delighted we have achieved this certification, and I'd like to thank Anthony Dugmore and everyone involved in helping to ensure we meet regulatory requirements. We have introduced a range of risk management measures to ensure potential hazards are identified, evaluated and controlled throughout all our operations. This includes enhanced training and engaging with all staff to maintain high standards of health and safety."
"By adding this standard to our existing accreditations for ISO 1400 and 9001 Environmental and Quality Assurance, it underlines our completely integrated management system."
As part of the company's commitment to occupational health and safety, previous office space has been renovated to create a quiet room, where anyone can go for some quiet, undisturbed time. A stress management toolbox has also been introduced as part of performance reviews and is designed to help managers talk with colleagues about preventing and managing work-related stress.
