S. De R.L. De C.V. Hanwha Advanced Materials Mexico Aims for the Top Safety and Health at Work with PASST Certification
Hanwha Advanced Materials Mexico (HAMX) is working to comply with the Mexican government's Programa de Autogestion de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo (PASST), or Occupational Health and Safety-Self-Management Program, in order to be certified as a safe and hygienic workplace. There are four levels of PASST certification that companies can obtain, beginning with Level 1. Many international companies in Mexico strive to achieve this certification.
Hanwha Advanced Materials Mexico spent two months preparing to receive PASST certification. The Secretaria del Trabajo y Prevision Social (STPS), or Mexican Secretariat of Labor and Social Welfare, will evaluate HAMX for six months before conducting an audit in November of 2018. If HAMX passes the audit, the company will receive a Level 1 PASST certification.
"I'm glad I was able to participate in this program," says Mabeli Carolina Cebeda Arias of HAMX's Environment, Health and Safety Team. "I hope all employees understand how important safety and health is at the workplace and how this program helps improve our work environment."
HAMX is aiming to receive Level 4 certification by 2025. - Hanwha Advanced Materials Mexico
