Aerogen has attained ISO 14001/45001 certifications — international standards that provide frameworks for organizations to manage their environmental and occupational health and safety performance, according to a company news announcement.
ISO certification, awarded by the International Organization for Standardization, represents a gold standard for any organization. Achieving these certifications demonstrates Aerogen’s on-going commitment to excellence in Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) standards across the company.
What is ISO 14001? ISO 14001 focuses on implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) to reduce an organization’s environmental impact. This standard aims to minimize waste, pollution, and energy consumption.
What is ISO 45001? ISO 45001, in contrast, is an international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It provides a framework to help organizations improve employee safety, reduce workplace hazards and risks, and create safer working conditions.
The Difference Between ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. While ISO 14001 emphasizes environmental management, ISO 45001 focuses on health and safety. Certification in ISO 14001 demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, whereas ISO 45001 certification reflects a dedication to health and safety.
“At Aerogen, we champion both standards,” the company said in a news announcement.
