BELCO Achieves ISO 45001 Certification
BELCO announced what they said was a “major achievement for the Company, certification to the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety standard.”
A spokesperson said, “The International Organization for Standardization [ISO] publishes International Standards developed by global experts covering nearly all industries around the world. ISO, which is based out of Switzerland, has members from 161 countries.
“ISO 45001 is the globally recognised international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. It provides a framework for organisations to proactively manage workplace risks, prevent work-related injuries and illnesses, and continually improve overall safety performance.
“Since 2010, BELCO’s integrated Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment [OHSE] Management System has been registered the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard and now the Company is also certified to the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety standard.
“This certification places BELCO among a select group of organization worldwide and makes BELCO the only company in Bermuda to hold both ISO 45001 and ISO 14001.”
Mark Pacheco, Director Operational Support Services said: “This is a significant milestone for our Company. We are now the only company on island with both certifications. This demonstrates our diligent approach to OHSE management and commitment to continual improvement in these important areas. This certification is not an award for the OHSE team alone, but rather a reflection of the entire Company.
“It recognises everyone who influences safe behaviours, prioritises the implementation of safety controls, and genuinely believes in protecting our environment. It also demonstrates that, at every level of our organisation, we are committed to keeping our employees, contractors, and visitors safe when they interact with our operations, while consistently working to reduce potential impacts that our operations may have on the environment.
“I would like to thank all our dedicated employees who contribute to this success daily and continue to commit to the ongoing improvement and maintenance of BELCO’s integrated OHSE Management System.”
