The Paterson Simons & Co. (Africa) Ltd. (PSAL) Group is proud to announce a significant achievement in our journey toward obtaining the ISO45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certification.
ISO 45001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system. It provides a framework for organisations to manage risks and improve OH&S performance.
We have successfully completed Stage 1 of the audit process, conducted by SGS, with outstanding results.
The Stage 1 audit, which took place on August 8th and 9th, 2024, is a critical step where the certification body (CB) evaluates an organization’s readiness for the full audit. This involves confirming that all necessary processes, procedures, and resources are in place. We are pleased to report that only two minor non-conformances were identified, both of which have been swiftly addressed.
With this successful outcome, the PSAL Group is now qualified to proceed to Stage 2 of the audit process. The upcoming audit will focus primarily on fieldwork assessments and records, marking the final step towards achieving ISO45001 certification.
We encourage all teams and subsidiaries to continue their support and cooperation as we approach this crucial phase.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all staff for their contribution.
