ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety. In Angola, it is frequently required to work on site, in industry, in oil and gas and in mining, where the project owner and insurers want proof that safety is under control. AGH prepares your company; DQS certifies.
Identifying hazards and assessing risks to workers, complying with legal safety requirements, consultation and participation of workers, operational control of high-risk activities, emergency preparedness and incident investigation, with continual improvement. It places top leadership at the centre: safety is management's responsibility.
We carry out the risk assessment, produce the documentation and safety procedures, train the team and conduct the internal audit, leaving the system ready for the certification audit.
DQS, an accredited and independent certification body, carries out the certification and issues the certificate, contracted and paid to DQS. AGH is DQS's exclusive Channel Partner in Angola. The version in force is ISO 45001:2018.
A typical journey runs from four to eight months. On site, in oil and gas and in mining, the timeframe depends on the number of work fronts, staff turnover and the starting point in terms of safety.
AGH's fees for preparation, and the certification audit contracted to DQS, are set following the free diagnosis. There is no price list.
On site, in oil and gas and in mining, ISO 45001 has stopped being an extra and become a pre-qualification criterion. It demonstrates that the company knows how to manage safety on its work fronts, reduces accident rates and, with them, insurance costs and downtime. It is among the first requests when an Angolan company wants to enter a large operator's supply chain.
