TNT UAE first in GCC to pass top international safety standard
The company has three more high-level certifications planned for the year in Quality Management, Environmental Management and Social Accountability in a move to further improve its service levels.
‘Customer service is at the heart of everything we do and achieving OHSAS 18001 accreditation highlights our commitment to health and safety. This certification increases worker confidence and consequently enhances service levels which benefit the end user and considered highly important,’
TNT Express, the world’s leading B2B express delivery company, is the GCC’s first express provider to achieve the OHSAS 18001 prestigious international occupational health and safety certification.
said Bryan Moulds, Country General Manager, TNT UAE.
The review conducted by Belgium-based certification body Vincotte International, involved rigorous auditing of TNT’s systems including risk assessments, accident management as well as training and development.
