Putting People First with a Safer, Smarter Workplace

At Advanex Europe, we believe that world-class engineering starts with a world-class working environment. Our certification to ISO 45001—the internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS)—reflects our deep commitment to the wellbeing of our employees, visitors, and partners.

ISO 45001 helps us proactively manage workplace risks, reduce incidents, and promote a safety-first culture throughout all levels of our organisation.

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the global benchmark for managing occupational health and safety (OH&S). It provides a framework for identifying hazards, reducing risks, and improving overall safety performance.

Key objectives of ISO 45001 include:

Preventing work-related injury and ill health
Creating a culture of continuous safety improvement
Complying with legal and regulatory OH&S requirements
Engaging employees in health and safety management

At Advanex Europe, ISO 45001 integrates seamlessly with our broader management systems, including ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 13485 (Medical Devices).
