Five Sands China Departments Earn ISO Certification for Occupational Health and Safety
(Macao, Mar. 30, 2021) – Five Sands China
departments have received ISO 45001:2018 certification
for their occupational health and safety (OHS)
management systems, a testament to the company's success
in proactively creating a safe working
environment.
The food and
beverage, procurement and supply chain, housekeeping,
and security departments each earned the certification
for the first time, and the facilities department earned
two recertifications: one for OHS and another for its
quality management system (ISO
9001:2015).
"Sands China
is very pleased with this latest round of ISO
certifications," said Michael Naylor, senior vice
president of facilities for Sands China Ltd. "The
certifications, which apply to all our properties, are a
result of our ongoing effort to proactively improve and
enhance our OHS performance. After our facilities
department earned ISO 45001 in 2019, we are excited to
now see four new departments certified. Workplace safety
is essential to the success of our operations and we are
proud to see that our ever-expanding efforts to meet and
exceed international standards are
recognised."
