In August 2014, after quite a short period of preparation, Voerman International (The Hague) received the ISO 18001 certificate.

This certification is better known as OHSAS, the international applied Standard for occupational health and safety management system.

CEO Robert Jan Voerman and Quality Manager René Postma said that this is a milestone in the history of the Voerman Group. “This is a great achievement and gives opportunities in a broad scale of moving,” said Robert Jan.  According to René Postma the certificate gives a good basis from which to enrol this to Voerman’s global subsidiaries.

The OHSAS certificate was handed over by QHSE manager Tom van den Berg from UniGroup Relocation Network HQ in Weesp. OHSAS 18001 connects well with the other standards such as 9001 + 14001 so quality, environment and safety are not controlled by one system.
