Sri Lanka-based Advantis Bunkering has announced that it has been awarded the International Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series certification, or OHSAS 18001:2007, by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).
Awarded following "stringent" evaluation of the company's health and safety standards, the certification is intended to ensure that all employees are trained to carry out all operational activities without incident, and are able to minimise and mitigate further adversities in the event of an incident.
The certification is noted to apply to all three legal entities of the business, including Moceti International (Pvt) Limited, Lanka Bunkering Services (Pvt) Limited, and Lanka Maritime Services Limited.
"The safety of our employees is of paramount importance to us. Providing them with a safe working environment is a responsibility we take very seriously. This drives us to minimise risks associated with health and safety within the workplace," said Praneeth Gunawardena, Director of Advantis Bunkering.
"This dedication has allowed us to maintain an impressive safety track record and this latest certification is further validation of our commitment to the highest safety standards."
