THE Panama Canal Authority's (ACP) Human Resources Department has received ISO 9001-2000 certification, following an audit of its Quality Management System by Det Norske Veritas (DNV).
"We, at the ACP, are greatly honoured that our Human Resources Department has been ISO certified on quality procedures. Having ISO certification for our training, client services and all other programmes under the Human Resources Department is a testament to the hard work and devotion to excellence by our managers and world-class workforce," said ACP executive vice president of Human Resources Francisco Loaiza in a statement from the authorities.
ACP's Human Resources Department ISO certification will be valid for a period of three years, during which quality standards will be audited every six months to ensure that performance remains at optimal levels.
Other departments and divisions at the ACP have received ISO 9001:2000 certification, including the Operations Department, the Contracting Division, the Industrial Shipyard, Electrical and Aqueduct Divisions and the Safety Division. ACP's Environment Division also was certified ISO 14001, the release added.
