Having an occupational health and safety management system will help organisations to minimise the risk of harm to all workers and provide a platform for continual improvement in health and safety.

Managing Director, ITB Nigeria Ltd.

We are also committed to a coordinated and systematic approach to managing health and safety risks. Having the ISO recognition will help us to continually improve our performance by focusing on our major operations to ensure customer satisfaction.”
