ISO 18788 Certification

Why Apply for ISO 18788:2015 Certification

u Security companies have predominately gained certification in ISO 9001 to endorse their management system, however the ISO 18788:2015 provides a framework for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving the management of security operations, which ensures that other key elements that are security specific are also tested during the audit process.

u It provides the principles and requirements for a security operations management system (SOMS). ISO 18788:2015 provides a business and risk management framework for organisations conducting or contracting security operations and related activities and functions while demonstrating:

u a) conduct of professional security operations to meet the requirements of clients and other stakeholders;

u b) accountability to law and respect for human rights;

u c) consistency with voluntary commitments to which it subscribes.

u c) demonstrate its ability to consistently provide services that meet client needs and are in conformance with applicable laws and human rights requirements.

u Gaining the ISO 45001 certification allows you to demonstrate that your business operates a best-practice Occupational Health and Safety Management System – reducing the likelihood of accidents and breaches of legislation, as well as improving your organisation’s overall performance.

u This standard is expected to surpass many existing health and safety standards because it has been developed by a committee of occupational health and safety experts. It will take into account other international standards in this area such as OHSAS 18001, the International Labour Organization’s ILO-OSH Guidelines, various national standards and the ILO’s international labour standards and conventions. This makes it one of the most valuable Health and Safety Management Systems available to date.

u Increase Health and Safety Awareness – the management system helps organisations to increase employee awareness of Occupational Health and Safety risks, ensuring workers take an active role in health and safety matters
