GS Group, a world leader in certification services, has certified the NoxorSokem Group according to the recognised OHSAS 18001 standard for the assessment and authentication of occupational health and safety management systems. The standard OHSAS 18001 has been designed to be compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 in order to facilitate the integration of management systems dealing with quality, environment, and health and safety at work.
