ISO45001: Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems

The OH&S Management Standard exists to outline the importance of organisations being responsible for the occupational health and safety of workers and others who can be affected by its activities. The adoption of an OH&S management system ensures that WSG provides a safe and healthy workplace in order to prevent work-related injury and ill health.

Why is ISO Certification Important?

ISO Standards cover a huge range of activities, and are in place to ensure that all stakeholders of a business continue to feel protected. They guarantee consistency throughout every aspect of the business. 

Our certifications are proof that we abide by standards set forth by the International Organisation for Standardisation, as well as our commitment to business objectives like customer satisfaction, reliability and efficiency.

Standards are the distilled wisdom of people with expertise in their subject matter and who know the needs of the organisations they represent – people such as manufacturers, sellers, buyers, customers, trade associations, users or regulators.
