Aitken Spence Travels became one of the first destination management companies in Sri Lanka to receive the ISO 45001: 2018 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management certification.
Certified by the SGS United Kingdom Ltd., the scope covered in the assessment includes destination management services, inbound tourism and activities including support services carried out at Aitken Spence Travels. An OHS management system focuses on establishing ongoing, systemic measures to identify and control OHS hazards and risks (including system deficiencies) in the working environment to safeguard the wellbeing of all stakeholders. “This is another important step towards affirming to our employees, customers, partners and other key stakeholders on the value we place on occupational health and safety and our continuous efforts to improve and offer the best services in the industry,” said Managing Director, Aitken Spence Travels, Nalin Jayasundera.
This is one of the many certifications obtained by Aitken Spence Travels.
The company maintains the Travelife Partnership Certification for the operations keeping in line with global sustainable tourism practices and has a longstanding partnership with TUI. Aitken Spence Travels was also the first destination management company to obtain ISO 9001:2008.
