A significant milestone

Safety comes first

The Namibian Ports Authority (Namport) implemented an integrated occupational health and safety system certified with ISO 45001:2015 to ensure the well-being and safety of its employees.

This system includes comprehensive policies, risk assessment processes, performance monitoring and targets, inspections, compliance audits, incident management, and engagement activities with employees, contractors, and suppliers.

In line with its commitment to safety, Namport also introduced life-saving rules to enhance safety practices at the ports.

Although Namport recorded six lost-time injuries, the company successfully reached its overall target by maintaining a lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) of 0.49 and also achieved one million injury-free man hours in 2023.

This remarkable accomplishment highlights Namport’s commitment to maintaining a safe and secure working environment for its employees. It also demonstrates Namport’s diligent efforts in implementing effective health and safety measures and fostering a culture of awareness and compliance among its workforce.

Namport successfully underwent an ISO surveillance and recertification audit in August and September 2022. This comprehensive assessment examined the company’s compliance with a range of international standards. On this occasion, Namport garnered favourable endorsements, affirming the extension of its existing certifications.

The certifications and their audit results include ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management): The first surveillance audit was conducted in September 2022, and Namport was recommended for the continuation of this certification.

ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management): The first surveillance audit also took place in September 2022, and Namport received a positive recommendation to maintain this certification.

ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety): Namport has been recertified for its commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.

By upholding these certifications, Namport aligns with several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), furthering its positive impact on society and the environment.
