Occupational health and safety management standard applied to MAST’s GLOBAL operations

LONDON, UK, September 17, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Maritime Asset Security and Training (MAST) Ltd, the maritime security and training specialist, has been accredited with the international occupational health and safety management standard, OHSAS 18001, for all of its global operations, including Nigeria, Sri Lanka, India and Oman.

OHSAS 18001 is an internationally recognised British standard for occupational health and safety management systems and is an essential requirement for many global organisations across the supply chain. The application for accreditation involves a safety audit across operations, including assessments of staff and management.

Safety is critical to MAST’s work, with its teams operating in some marine environments of high piracy risk. The Company is committed to continuously improve the safety and security of its staff through training, reporting and monitoring, and since its establishment in 2005, MAST has invested heavily to improve professional standards.

Phillip Cable, CEO of MAST stated, “The safety of our staff and contractors is of paramount importance in everything we do. It has always been crucial that MAST’s operations meet the highest safety standards, and this accreditation demonstrates that we deliver on health and safety best practice across the globe.”
