Owlett-Jaton has achieved certification to ISO 45001:2018, the Occupational Health and Safety Management System from the British Standards Institution (BSI), for its 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.

“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. We plan on continuing to improve how we operate,” commented Gareth Phillips, facilities and accreditations manager at Owlett-Jaton.

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.

 “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,” adds Ian Doherty, CEO at Owlett-Jaton.
