In 2012, HUBER+SUHNER China was the first to achieve international ISO 45001 certification for the OH&S management systems, proving a commitment to managing and continuously improving OH&S performance.
Carrie Yang, Production, Process and Quality Manager (PQM) at HUBER+SUHNER China, says:
“The certification gives customers confidence in our management of people's health and safety and demonstrates that we have a systematic approach to OH&S. From our 400 current employees’ point of view, it’s not just a certificate. It’s a structured way of managing OH&S, making it a routine task for everyone, every department and every site, which leads to continuous improvements. OH&S has become our culture.”
Besides routine OH&S work, June is China’s traditional “Safety Month” when employees engage in activities like knowledge sharing, safety inspection with role swapping, and an idea competition with prizes.
With 13 years of OS&H operation experience, the Chinese organisation has been a valued source of insight for other sites that pursue their own ISO 45001 certifications.
