Advantis Projects and Engineering awarded OHSAS

Advantis Projects and Advantis Engineering were awarded the International Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series certification or OHSAS 18001:2007, by DNV.GL recently. General Manager, Advantis Projects, Shadil Rizan said, “We have carried out a number of mega projects with zero incidents and have maintained a high health and safety track record over the years. The OHSAS certification helps us reinforce our commitment to our employees and customers that we care about their well-being and their business.”

In an industry such as transportation and logistics, health and safety violations are identified as leading factors contributing to productivity loss. An incident can contribute to a reduced number of working days, delays in delivery, insurance costs, clean-up and repair costs, compensation and other associated costs.

The OHSAS certification ensures that all employees of Advantis Projects and Advantis Engineering are trained to carry out all operational activities. In the event of an incident, all employees including the head of the company, have been fully trained to activate programs that will minimise and mitigate any further adversities.

The OHSAS certification also needs a full set of manuals outlining the processes and responsibilities in case of an incident. Advantis Engineering and Advantis Projects, formerly known as Logiventures (Pvt) Ltd, are fully owned subsidiaries of Hayleys Advantis Limited, the transportation and logistics arm of Hayleys PLC.
