Elev8’s safety systems certified to ISO45001

We are delighted to announce that Elev8’s management system is now certified to ISO45001:2018 the international standard for occupational health and safety.   Our systems were thoroughly audited by Alucmus ISOQAR a UKAS accredited ISO certification provider. The auditor checked that our management system complied with the standards and looked for evidence that the system is fully implemented in our provision of specialist access platform hire, contract lifting services and traffic management services.

ISO45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. The standard replaces ISO18001 and encourages a proactive approach to health and safety as well as putting emphasis on leadership and employee engagement to promote a positive health and safety culture.

The ISO45001 standard expects organisations to

  • Manage risk.
  • Comply with legislation.
  • Have a safe working environment.
  • Promote communication to improve the health and safety culture.
  • Plan, manage and review occupational health and safety performance.
  • Continually improve health and safety performance.

 

As well as expecting organisations to manage risk and have a safe working environment the standard expects occupational health and safety to be integrated into the structure of an organisation.

A huge thank you to our Health and Safety Manager Bernie for working so hard to integrate the new standard into our existing management system under tight timescales.
