OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety certification

Emerson Process has recently achieved certification to OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety for its Daniel® Europe facility in Stirling, (GB). This complements its existing certification to ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Standard. 

“With some of our customers sub-contracting up to 90 per cent of their labour, they rely on supplier companies to support their environmental and safety standards,” said Mark Dutton, Vice President of Emerson’s Daniel Measurement and Control, Europe. “The OHSAS 18001 accreditation, together with the ISO 14001 environment accreditation, will give confidence that working with us will ensure that these companies achieve their OHSE and environmental goals.”

OHSAS 18001 defines the requirements for an occupational health and safety management system that will enable an organisation to identify and control its OH&S risks and to continually improve its performance in that area. Achieving OHSAS 18001 certification recognises the strengths of Emerson as a supplier that shares the same health and safety standards as its customers.

“Emerson Process Management is committed to full compliance with Health, Safety and Environmental legislation and we are delighted to be awarded OHSAS 18001 accreditation,” said Eddie Roberts, Quality Manager and Health & Safety Adviser. “This is a significant achievement which makes us stand out against all other fiscal measurement solutions providers in Europe.”
The certification programme is part of a much wider expansion plan for the Daniel division’s European headquarters. This will ensure that Daniel is positioned to meet the increasing demand from the oil and gas industry, for its fiscal flow and energy measurement products, systems and services.
