SPEA achieves ISO 45001 Certification
SPEA has received the UNI ISO 45001:2018 certification, in recognition of the company’s efforts to address potential work-related risks, and its strong commitment to adhere to best practices to provide a safe working environment to its employees.
Launched by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in March 2018, ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems.
It provides a framework to increase safety, reduce workplace risks and enhance health and well-being at work, enabling an organization to proactively improve its OH&S performance.
Among the key evaluation criteria are the efforts made by employees to systematically identify and manage their organization’s health and safety risk factors, the decrease in workplace incidents, and the development of a health and safety culture.
“Receiving this certification reflects our commitment to our employees, community and customers, by continuously evaluating and improving our safety processes to ensure we meet and exceed the highest standards” said Paolo Negro, QHSE Director at SPEA. “Excellence in health and safety is a core part of our company culture, and we will continue making comprehensive and preventive efforts to be not only a world class manufacturer, but an industry role model for safety, sustainability and quality”.
