The Port Autonome d’Abidjan (PAA) is strengthening its commitment to occupational health and safety with the achievement of the international ISO 45001:2018 certification on 29 August 2026, awarded by the certification body AFAQ. This recognition confirms that its Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) complies with the requirements of international standards.
This certification acknowledges the institution’s efforts to improve occupational risk prevention, enhance working conditions and promote a genuine safety culture throughout the port platform.
Through this initiative, the Port Autonome d’Abidjan aims in particular to reduce workplace accidents and incidents, raise awareness among its employees and the various stakeholders about good safety practices, while ensuring compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Beyond this institutional recognition, ISO 45001:2018 certification represents a significant asset for the entire port community, particularly workers, service providers, customers and partners. It helps strengthen confidence in the management of risks associated with people and port operations.
As part of its Integrated Management System (IMS) policy, this new certification marks an important milestone in the PAA’s continuous improvement process. The port thus reaffirms its ambition to build a modern, efficient and sustainable port platform, where health and safety are a shared responsibility among all stakeholders.
