Zhuhai site in China gets full EHS certification
3 Jul 2009
Coloplast takes another step towards having all its production sites environment, health and safety (EHS) certified.
Coloplast's manufacturing site in Zhuhai, China, has just received the OSHAS 18001 health and safety certification from Denmark's national standardisation body, Danish Standard, after receiving its ISO 14001 environmental certificate last year. The Zhuhai site is now fully certified and maintaining high standards in environment, health and safety.
Consultants from Danish Standard and as well as local experts were impressed with the Zhuhai factory and its documentation systems in relation to health and safety.
Not required by law
"This certification is not required by law and is not that common in China," says Oluf Damsgaard Henriksen, Environmental & Climate Specialist in Coloplast. "But of course, we want to keep the same high standards all over the world."
Zhuhai's certification is the latest in a long line of certifications at all Coloplast production sites. All sites in Denmark and Hungary have already been fully certified, with work underway for remaining sites elsewhere in the world.
