New workplace standard for HIV programmes |
|
|
|
SANS 16001 - the HIV & AIDS workplace quality management system standard - is being launched on July 18 by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS).
The standard will give companies a benchmark against which to voluntarily measure their HIV/AIDS programmes.
Once a company has decided to use the standard as the benchmark against which their programme will be measured, there will be a set of absolute requirements that they will have to achieve. These requirements will achieve specific outcomes through actions deemed to be in line with currently accepted good practice and must be objectively verifiable by a suitably qualified auditor.
If the company is found to be compliant with the standard requirements, the auditor will recommend the company for certification.
The standard requires that the company commits to continuous improvement and is compatible with ISO 90001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
To learn more about the standard, come to the breakfast launch at 8.30 for 9am at the Sandton Convention Centre on July 18 or contact Linzi Smith on
