The Company’s UAE organization is now fully certified for ISO45001:2018
Schneider Electric’s Gulf operations have been certified as fully compliant with the latest global ISO health and safety standard ISO 45001:2018.
This certification, which followed a deployment for one year and rigorous audit over the course of several days across the company’s six offices in the UAE, underlines Schneider Electric Gulf’s commitment towards keeping its employees, partners and customers safe at all times.
Developed over a four-year period, ISO 45001:2018 has been designed to provide organizations all around the world with a set of processes that allow them to effectively improve work safety and reduce work related risks.
The best practice certification specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces.
The auditors called out Schneider Electric’s comprehensive virus controls, and how it communicated with all parties in relation to pandemic-related issues.
“This year has underlined the importance of well-thought out and tested health and safety management systems to keep everyone safe, be they our employees, our partners and our customers,” commented Natalja Kissina, Schneider Electric’s VP for Human Resources in the Gulf.
