Cegco receives top international system certifications

Amman, February 17, 2015

Jordan’s Central Electricity Generating Company (Cegco) sites have been granted three international integrated management system certifications.

The certifications include the ISO 9001:2008 for quality management, the ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management, as well as the BS OHSAS 18001:2007 for occupational health and general safety management.

The mentioned sites comprised Cegco’s main headquarters, Aqaba Thermal Power Station, Al-Hussein Thermal Power Station, Rehab Power Station and Risha Gas Power Station.     

Cegco attained the certifications following an eight-month evaluation project that assessed the company’s standard procedures and applications.

The performance evaluation project, which was carried out in cooperation with a specialised consultancy firm, compared the international requirements for integrated management systems to procedures being implemented at Cegco’s various sites and stations.

The project featured employee lectures on integrated management systems, in addition to workshops that trained a select group of employees on how to carry out internal environmental and vocational health and safety audits in order to gauge the effectiveness of the systems, optimise their performance and mitigate potential implementation obstacles. At the conclusion of the evaluation project, which confirmed full compliance, Cegco was granted the international certifications by an authorised worldwide company.
 
The firm’s chief executive officer said: “Our dedication to complying with these systems will allow us to not only enhance our performance levels, but will also help us reduce potential risks with regards to employee health and safety.”

He went on to reaffirm the importance of sustaining this accomplishment by conducting periodic employee trainings and by carrying out internal and external audits on a regular basis. - TradeArabia News Service
