Otis Brazil Factory Receives ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems Certification

Otis Brazil’s factory in São Bernardo do Campo recently received ISO 45001 certification, an international standard that specifies the requirements and good practices for effective occupational health and safety management systems. Otis Brazil is a subsidiary of Otis (NYSE: OTIS), the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company.

ISO 45001 was developed to reduce factors that can cause occupational accidents, injuries and illnesses, and also provides guidelines for the continuous improvement of occupational health and safety performance and management systems in the workplace. With this latest milestone, Otis has now 13 factories out of 17 with ISO 45001 certification.

Safety is an Otis Absolute, along with our Absolutes of Ethics and Quality. As part of our facilities’ progress toward certification under the highest health and safety standards, this certification is a testament to our commitment to provide a safe and healthy working environment for our colleagues and visitors, said Adriana Gonsalves, Senior Manager of Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) at Otis for Latin America.
