DIMO honoured with ISO 45001:2018 certification

DIMO, a leading diversified conglomerate in Sri Lanka, was recently honoured with the coveted ISO 45001:2018 certification by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), the international accredited registrar and classification society. 
DNV is an independent expert in assurance and risk management and this certification further assures and recognises DIMO’s capability of providing a high standard in occupational health and safety. 

DIMO Chairman and Managing Director Ranjith Pandithage commented on this momentous occasion. “The strategic decision for the organisation to implement an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) was made to ensure that the physical and mental well-being of the employees at work is continuously enhanced. The system minimises the risk of harm to the people that may be affected by work-related activities. DIMO is committed to fuelling the dreams and aspirations of the communities it serves in, including its own employees, fondly known as the DIMO Tribe. DIMO ensures that the members of the DIMO Tribe remain safe and healthy and firmly understand the need to improve their morale, which in turn leads to exceptional performance. This certification certainly cements our dedication to ensuring that the staff is always well looked after.”
DIMO’s OHSMS was developed internally with the active participation and sharing of insights from representatives across all levels of employment. The organisation’s Compliance Department continuously develops, implements and monitors the OHSMS to ensure its high performance and effectiveness.

The ISO 45001:2018 certification recognises the fact that DIMO’s OHSMS meets the necessary requirements and helps identify the possible hazards and risks that the organisation may face and helps eliminate the chances of those hazards occurring. Furthermore, it enables the organisation to actively reduce the potential effects and impact of those hazards and operational risks as well.
