Contact Originators announces its latest achievement, securing ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety accreditation for the supply of reprographics services and flexographic printing plates. This certification underlines the company’s commitment to creating a safe, healthy and nurturing working environment for its employees.
Developed by independent international standards committees, the ISO 45001 standard provides a comprehensive framework for businesses to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks and create safer working conditions globally.
Contact’s successful accreditation process involved rigorous evaluation of its operations, and implementation of comprehensive health and safety protocols.
Jane Brocklehurst, HR/Health & Safety Manager at Contact Originators, said: “We are thrilled to gain this accreditation. Achieving ISO 45001 standards is a testament to our relentless focus on the wellbeing of our staff, who are the heart of the Contact business. With the inclusion of a robust framework for managing potential safety risks through our operations, it reflects our dedication to health and safety management systems that protect our workforce and enhance our operational efficiency.”
Joanne Grundy, Quality & Systems Manager at Contact Originators, commented: “This accreditation not only highlights our commitment to our employees and collective wellbeing, but also aligns with our broader sustainability goals. We tend to think of sustainability only in terms of emissions and waste, but social and cultural elements are part of it, and for us that means a safe, supported and happy team. By prioritising health and safety, backed by the ISO framework, we are creating a more resilient and responsible business model, which in turn helps us deliver more for our customers.”
Steve Mulcahy, CEO of Contact Originators, added: “Accomplished through the hard work of our team, ISO 45001 accreditation is a critical component of our long-term vision. We know that without supporting the safety and wellbeing of our people, our business simply can’t deliver. Employee welfare and business success are intrinsically linked, so putting focus on this strengthens our competitive edge and demonstrates our high standards of employee care and operational excellence.”
