Certification in the skilled trades sector - we tell you how it works
"Does anyone know a reliable master painter?" Almost every day we all make use of services from the trades - recommendations from those around us play a major role for many! And those who continuously provide high-quality work are recommended. Therefore, a certification is not only the document on the wall but often the solid basis for the continuous control and improvement of one's own performance - and thus for the continued existence of the business.
The German skilled trades sector is a very diverse branch of industry, mostly organised in small and medium-sized enterprises, and with about 5.6 million employees and over one million businesses, it is an essential part of the German economy. Quality management ensures here that the much vaunted German quality continues to be valued.

The focus is on the question of what contribution everyone can make to prevent incidents at work.
And an occupational health and safety management system (SGAMS) certified according to ISO 45001 systematically contributes to minimising accident and illness-related absences in your workforce.
When combined with quality management, for example, this results in a variety of overlaps - saving you time and money.
