John Keells Logistics (Pvt) Ltd (JKLL) has secured the OHSAS 18001 certification at both its key warehousing and 3PL complexes. OHSAS (Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series) is an international standard for facilities with world-class safety and health management systems. The certification was awarded to the current logistics facilities managed by the company, the 3PL complex in Peliyagoda and a Logistics Centre in Ja-ela, the company said in a statement.
OHSAS 18001 is an occupational health and safety management system used to promote a safe and healthy working environment by identifying and controlling its health and safety risks, reducing the potential for accidents, aiding legislative compliance and improving overall performance. To increase safety and meet the OHSAS 18001 specified standards, JKLL spent the past six months analyzing and assessing risks associated with warehousing and 3PL operations taking all aspects of the business functions into consideration and developing numerous procedures and conducting many training programmes for staff.
In addition to this Certification, JKLL engages employees in regular health and safety improvements and conducts job safety analyses or risk assessments to minimize potential injury, making JKLL a risk-free working environment for its employees. |
