Safety Culture Ladder Accreditation for NextGeo

NextGeo has successfully secured NEN Safety Culture Ladder – Step 3 certification by LRQA (Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance), a milestone in leading tier-subcontracting companies’ health and safety standards. This accreditation complements NextGeo’s array of ISO QHSE standards granted by DNV since 2016.

The Safety Culture Ladder identifies the current development phase of a company and promotes the continuous and sustainable improvement of occupational safety awareness, resulting in safe working practices. Leaders in the infrastructure sector are increasingly including the Safety Culture Ladder as a selection criterion in the contract award process.

NextGeo CEO Giovanni Ranieri commented: “We are all very proud of this new achievement. It has been thought-provoking with a lot of high-standard findings identified in terms of performance, communication, recording and sharing, but also the perception across the group of NextGeo as a family.”

Roberto Amoroso, QHSE Manager of Next Geosolutions, said: “This standard has proven to be so different from ISO ones, thus we are pretty sure it will shortly become a well-known and accepted accreditation within the industry. The entire accreditation process has made our already-established company health and safety ‘footprint’ so well tangible”.
