DGC is pleased to announce a recent change in the structure of its entities for ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety certification.
The certification which was previously for a subsidiary, Dickinson Furnace Services has been extended to the holding company; Dickinson Holdings. Dickinson Holdings has implemented and maintains an occupational health and safety management system according to the above mentioned standard, allowing its subsidiaries’ processes and systems to be equally audited and certified.
This change was effected during a recent surveillance audit with DEKRA Certification (Pty) Ltd. The audit was very successful, and determined that DGC's management system continues to comply with the requirements for ISO 45001:2018 management system. The company’s systems continue to comply with the standard in terms of the following amongst other requirements:
Defining and establishing operational control in accordance procedures, and documentation to ensure that the necessary outputs are achieved.
Support processes with people, necessary infrastructure and suitable environmental conditions, together with monitoring and measurement resources.
External service provider management.
Performance evaluation of its processes and client satisfaction.
The next sections will give more information about the company’s commitment to safety.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
The 'Health and Safety' of all our employees is a priority and is an integral part of our business, and underpins every decision we make and every action we take across all our business operations.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN Throughout DGC's operations across the globe, we are aware that the complexity and diversity of our range of asset integrity management and industrial solutions to the mining & metallurgical, glass, mineral processing and manufacturing industries are by their very nature high safety risk services. For that reason, throughout our organisation and at every group level, numerous initiatives have been introduced to improve safety. These initiatives are always part of a continuous improvement process based on identifying, analysing and controlling risks. To reduce these risks and make safety a genuine value shared by all its employees, DGC is committed to making safety a basis of its corporate culture. The approach that we adopt promotes a culture where all our employees create a mind-set that it is possible to perform all work activities injury free, regardless of what role they perform throughout our organisation. Furthermore, the 'safety culture' that we promote enables everyone to become involved and give their opinion on topics relating to health and safety. By promoting the commitment of everyone, creates a collective commitment and helps to develop a genuine safety culture throughout our organisation. Trevor Dickinson CHAIRMAN
