Owlett-Jaton is proud to announce that the business has achieved certification to ISO 45001:2018; Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The certification was awarded to Owlett-Jaton by the British Standards Institution (BSI) in February 2024.
An international standard for health and safety at work, the accreditation covers the wholesaler’s head office in Stone, Staffordshire.
ISO 45001 provides a framework to allow an organisation to proactively and continuously build and improve safety performance and culture to reduce risk. It demonstrates an organisation's commitment to a safe, healthy, and sustainable workplace. With a constant review and improvement process, established health and safety initiatives look to mitigate risks and improve operational performance.
Facilities and Accreditations Manager Gareth Phillips said, “As a wholesaler, we understand our responsibility to protect the wellbeing of our employees and wider stakeholders. Our teams have worked hard to achieve accredited status. Attaining this global benchmark for occupational health and safety is a major achievement for all at Owlett-Jaton. Health and safety is always the first point on our agenda, and this accreditation recognises the team's hard work and dedication. And we plan on continuing to improve how we operate”.
This is Owlett-Jaton’s third BSI certification, having already achieved certification to ISO 9001, the international standard for quality and ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management.
Owlett-Jaton’s CEO Ian Doherty added, “We value our people and their health and safety is a priority. By ensuring our business meets the standards set out by ISO 45001 we can reduce risk and provide a safe working environment for all. The ISO 45001 accreditation is something we are very proud of as a business. We always strive to provide the highest standards of quality while maintaining the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility”.
All three ISO certifications are under the legal entity Hexstone Ltd, of which Owlett-Jaton is a trading division.
