RadiciGroup ancestral production company and leader in the production of artificial grass yarn and nonwoven spunbond - Tessiture Pietro Radici, which sells products under brand names Radigreen and Dylar, respectively – celebrated a two fold achievement on the environmental and safety fronts.

TPR was awarded two important certifications: UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management systems and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 for occupational health and safety management systems.

These two recognitions demonstrate RadiciGroup’s concrete commitment to developing, implementing and improving its group-wide policies on environmental and occupational health and safety management.

The Group’s primary objectives include the sustainability of its industrial activities, safeguarding natural resources by reducing the environmental footprint of its products, and improving the health and safety of its workers.

“We set out to implement our management systems in accordance with the requirements of the two international certification standards at a fast pace, ”Paola Panzeri, quality manager of Tessiture Pietro Radici, explained.

“We started the projects for both the environmental and safety management systems in April of last year. During the months that followed, we performed internal audits for the purpose of monitoring the process, performance and progress status.

“In June of this year we completed step one of the certification, the feasibility audit, and in July, stage two, the actual certification audits, both with positive outcomes. Lastly, in August, the two important certifications were made official.”

By certifying its management system according to the OHSAS 18001 Standard (an international occupational health and safety management system specification geared at reducing and preventing accidents in the workplace through annual objectives for growth), Tessitura Pietro Radici has taken an important step in the direction of safety.

On top of UNI EN ISO 14001 and BS OHSAS 18001 certification, this year Tessiture Pietro Radici has obtained a renewal of its ISO 9001 certification (first obtained in 1997) through a new certification body, Certiquality.
