Coem’s decision to obtain voluntary certification, with increasingly stringent standards to protect workers, indicates the company’s choice to place its employees at the forefront of its values.
Since 2015, Coem has been implementing, maintaining and certifying a Management System that complies with the main international reference standard for Occupational Health and Safety. It was first certified according to the British standard BS OHSAS 18001, and from October 2020 according to the highest international regulatory reference available and transposed into Italian legislation under UNI ISO 45001:2018 (the first international regulation to establish minimum standards of good practice for the protection of workers worldwide).
The standard, developed with the contribution of experts from over 70 countries, provides an international framework that takes account of the interaction between the company and its business.
Given its non-compulsory nature, the corporate organisational model defined in accordance with the ISO standard is indicative of the company’s willingness to work towards meeting increasingly strict requisites compared to the legal obligations established. The Management System includes not only the organisational structure, planning, management and control activities according to the PDCA* approach, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources, but also a higher-level determination of the risks, and above all the opportunities, arising from them.
This is made possible by a careful analysis of the context Coem operates in and a periodic assessment of all factors (internal and external) and their requirements in terms of Occupational Health and Safety.
