In 2020 we successfully migrated to ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. It is an International Standard specifying requirements for occupational health, and safety (OH&S) management systems, with guidance for its use, to enable an organization to proactively improve its OH&S performance in preventing injury and ill-health. This has reaffirmed our ongoing commitment to health and safety. A debt of thanks is owed to our Logistics team in the warehouse who tirelessly manage the systems that protect our colleagues and customers, and ultimately sustain the business.
The OH&S covers our entire logistics operation, as in a logistics environment, with industrial equipment, heavy material, a fleet of vehicles on the roads delivering parcels and teams working 24×7, staying safe and preventing injuries requires a well-coordinated and trained team with a mature safety mindset. It requires the execution of the following elements:
- Leadership
- Planning
- Support
- Operation
- Performance evaluation
- Improvement measures
We check our compliance with the OH&S System on an ongoing basis through internal audits at planned intervals to ensure that the OH&S management system conforms to the organization’s requirements. On an annual basis, the compliance with the OH&S management system is validated by a third party an ISO accredited body. This has resulted in bettering our performance each year as reflected in health and safety performance below.
