Description

The Safety & Occupational Health Policy is a professionally structured governance document that establishes an organization’s commitment to providing a safe, healthy, and hazard-free working environment for employees, contractors, visitors, and all other stakeholders.

Aligned with ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) requirements, this policy emphasizes injury and ill-health prevention, legal compliance, safe work practices, accident reporting, emergency preparedness, welfare facilities, and continual improvement.
