JKIA, Moi airport awarded certifications for health, safety, and environmental management

The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Moi International Airport (MIA), and the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) Head Office have been awarded ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System certifications, reflecting their enhanced dedication to occupational health and safety, as well as their compliance with environmental regulations.

According to KAA, the certifications, granted by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), highlight its leadership role in environmental stewardship and workplace safety.

The ISO 14001:2015 certification is provided for organisations that comply with environmental laws and have systems that improve overall sustainability. 

On the other hand, the ISO 45001:2018 certification focuses on improving employee safety, reducing workplace risks, and creating safer working conditions.

"By attaining these ISO standards, KAA has successfully integrated Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) principles into the daily operations of its airports and headquarters, setting a benchmark for effective management and continual improvement," KAA said. 

"The Authority will undergo regular surveillance audits to ensure ongoing compliance and enhancement of its EHS performance."
