Dear Colleagues,
We just concluded the closing meeting of the ISO14001 and OHSAS18001 certification audit.
The three auditors from BV noted a large numbers of strengths of the organization.
1. Strong management commitment
2. Participation and responsiveness of the EHS Core Team and staff in general
3. Housekeeping in all areas, including all relevant warning signs, ensuring a safe work place
4. EtQ Document control system: easy retrieval, and good linkage between local and corporate specs
5. Thorough hazard identification and risk assessment (this is usually a weakness for a new company)
6. Effective operational controls, meeting all legal requirements and environmental monitoring
7. All pending items from the stage-1 audit were closed
The auditors noted 5 opportunities for improvement, 1 observation and 1 minor non-conformance.
We have successfully completed certification to the ISO14001 environmental standard. For OHSAS18001 we need to close the minor non-conformance within the next 90 days, to confirm our certification to this standard.
Many Congratulations !
This is a really excellent result.
I want to thank everyone that has supported this effort. With special thanks to Namfon, Phongthep, and all members of the Safety Committee and the EHS Core Team.
You put in a lot of hard work to get ready for this extensive audit, and you should be really proud of the success !!!
Once again, congratulations,
