OHSAS 18001

The OHSAS 18001 standard is a statement of requirements in the field of safety and work environment control. Companies that operate according to the standard are required to continually work on improving their personnel's safety, health and well-being.  The standard is, among other things, intended to ensure that safety and health care issues are integral factors in the evaluation and decision-making processes involved in investing, execution, management and the purchasing of products and services.

The OHSAS 18001 standard is a part of Landsvirkjun's integrated management structure. The standards ISO 9001 (a quality control standard) and ISO 14001 (an environment control standard) are also fundamental to this management structure.

The certification of the management structure confirms that sophisticated modus operandi are practiced within the company and that quality, environmental and safety issues are systematically and uniformly being worked on.
