Unlike OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001 demands active engagement with employees and a move away from focusing on the negative impact of health and safety breaches to more positive reinforcement of the benefits of health and safety management systems. This approach better reflects the latest Ancon thinking on this subject and having a well-developed safety culture certainly helped smooth the transition.
“We’re delighted to be among the frontrunners to be independently certified to ISO 45001. This accreditation reinforces Ancon’s unwavering commitment to being a reliable and responsible manufacturer of construction products.Simply meeting regulatory requirements has never been enough for Ancon though. We pride ourselves on going beyond legislative standards to ensure our operations comply with the Ancon Group’s own world-class health and safety requirements.At Ancon, a CRH company, health and safety is the top priority for everyone, irrespective of role, business or location.”Kieran Jarvis, Health & Safety, Environmental & Quality Manager |
