Fluidra España receives the OSHAS 18001 certificate

Fluidra España S.A.U. has adopted the Quality (ISO9001.2008) and Health and
Safety in the Workplace (OHSAS 18.001.2007) management systems as part of
its business strategy, with the aim of implementing, maintaining and continually
improving the Quality Management system and occupational hazard prevention.
It evaluates and controls risks in the workplace, thereby guaranteeing a safe
environment for its employees, its products and its production system. The
protection of its employees’ health and safety is the company’s top priority.
The award of the OHSAS 18001 certificate through AENOR is given in
recognition of a business’s work in this area. By receiving this certificate, Fluidra
España has demonstrated to its stakeholders that it manages its business
efficiently and responsibly.
The OHSAS 18001 certificate is an international, voluntary standard that has
been well received and successful all over the world as an efficient tool in the
prevention of hazards in the workplace. It comprises three fundamental
advantages:
 It has contributed to the decrease of the workplace accident rate, and
thereby increased productivity.
 It helps to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
 It creates an awareness of health and safety issues through the
integration of occupational hazard prevention in a business’s general
system.
This certificate facilitates the identification and evaluation of risk in the
workplace, and thereby defines the policies, organisational structure,
responsibilities, functions, activity planning, and the processes and resources a business should implement in the future. It allows systems of health and safety
management to be put into place in the workplace, but also ensures that such
systems are constantly reviewed, maintained and evaluated. OHSAS 18001
was created to be compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 in order to help
organisations effectively perform their health and safety obligations.
