For over 70 years, ATOM has been designing, developing and manufacturing cutting systems for flexible and semi-rigid materials, always at the forefront in the search for innovative solutions for the footwear and leather goods sector. Just as health and safety have always been at the forefront, so much so that today the Vigevano-based company’s commitment to these issues has received important recognition with the achievement of ISO 45001 certification (with Accredia accreditation) of its safety management system, issued by the accredited certification body Perry Johnson Registrars.
The certification attests the conformity of the company’s procedures to the international standard ISO 45001, which specifies the requirements and directions of use for occupational health and safety (OSH) management systems, with the aim of making workplaces safe and healthy and actively preventing accidents and health problems.
‘Investing in the health and safety of our employees has always been a priority for us,’ comments Luisa Gaia, CFO and HR Manager at Atom Cutting, ’and having obtained this important certification represents a fundamental step in the path we have been pursuing in recent years.’
