November 8, 2017

ANAB's accreditation highlights commitment to maintaining the highest standards in certification.

(Houston) Õ¬Äе¼º½ has announced that its operating subsidiary, ABS Quality Evaluations, Inc. (ABS QE), one of the world's leading management systems certification bodies, has received global accreditation by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) OHSAS 18001 program.

OHSAS 18001 promotes safety and health in the working environment by providing a framework that helps organizations identify and control health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, comply with regulatory requirements and improve overall performance. This global accreditation recognizes ABS QE's OHSAS services and demonstrates the Company's ongoing commitment to certification.

"ABS QE is extremely proud to receive this global accreditation from an internationally recognized and leading accreditation body, especially in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions," says ABS QE President Alex Weisselberg. 

According to ABS QE Vice President Dominic Townsend, OHSMS is a fundamental part of an organization's risk management strategy to address changing legislation aimed at protecting workforce and personnel working outside of the organization. "ANAB's recognition of ABS QE demonstrates our ongoing commitment to certification that safeguards employee health and safety and promotes a safer work environment to reduce workplace injuries," he says. "We are extremely pleased to add this accreditation to our existing local and global accreditations for OHSAS and other management systems."
