Asian Terminals Inc. (ATI) has secured an ISO 45001:2018 certification, making it the first port operator in the Philippines to receive certification on the new standard in occupational health and safety.
Independent auditing firm TUV Rheiland Philippines, Inc. conferred the certification to ATI, which is its first client to successfully transition from OHSES 18001 to ISO 45001, whose adoption deadline is 2021.
Moreover, ATI was also re-certified as compliant in the areas of environment management (ISO 14001:2005), quality management (ISO 9001:2015), and supply chain security management (ISO 28000:2007).
“We are very pleased to be the first international terminal operator in the Philippines to have secured the ISO 45001:2018 and be recertified for our Integrated Management System. These achievements further attest that ATI’s processes are at par with world-best practices,” ATI executive vice president William Khoury said in the statement.
“As a responsible port organization, it is our conscious commitment to implement the highest standards on health, safety, quality, security and environment, which collectively contribute to safer, better and more efficient port services for the Philippine supply chain,” Khoury added.
Conferred by third-party certification bodies, the certifications were developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an organization that forms international standards often used as metric for a company’s products, services, or systems.
