In 2018, CryoGen achieved the ISO 45001 accreditation – an international standard for health and safety at work.
The new management standard is non-compulsory, but helps to provide a structured framework for ensuring a safe and healthy workplace. As an organisation that puts safety at the forefront of everything we do, we wanted to improve on our existing health and safety management structure to help foster an atmosphere of safety excellence in our rapidly growing company.
Especially geared toward senior management, ISO 45001 has the ultimate goal of helping businesses provide a healthy and safe working environment for their employees and everyone else who visits the workplace. This goal can be achieved by controlling factors that could potentially lead to injury and illness. As a result, ISO 45001 is concerned with mitigating any factors that are harmful or that pose a danger to workers’ physical and/or mental well-being.
Since its inception, ISO 45001 has represented a landmark breakthrough. For the first time internationally, businesses of all sizes can now access a single framework that offers them a clear pathway to developing better and more robust occupational health and safety measures.
With the help of ISO 45001, it’s our ultimate ambition to foster a zero-harm workplace where workers are encouraged to identify areas where procedures can be improved upon. The safety of our personnel and customers is our upmost priority.
