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. 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. Otis maintains management systems based on ISO 14001, Environmental management systems, ISO 50001, Energy management systems, and ISO 45001, Occupational health and safety management systems. The São Bernardo do Campo factory received ISO 14001 certification in 2021, in line with Otis’ published ESG (environmental, social and governance) goal of completing ISO 14001 certification for all Otis factories by 2025, which Otis achieved in 2021, several years ahead of schedule, demonstrating effective environmental management of its factories.
