The compliance manager of Oxford College of Business says: “The business school has been certified ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for quite a while now and it was only a matter of time before we committed to developing our other management systems to higher quality standards. In 2014 it was agreed that we should develop the Health and Safety management systems at Oxford College of Business and set a trend for all other Private Institutes and Universities to follow. Rather than contract external consultants to carry out the work the management of Oxford College of Business committed to doing this in-house, believing it would be of more value to the business. Following a gap analysis it was clear that although our existing policies were comprehensive, there was still work ahead of us, to bring them in line with higher quality standards.

By implementing OHSAS 18001 we are confident that Oxford College of Business is in a better position to discover and control the hazards and risks to the company, its employees and its students. The main objective was to make the business school located at No 100 Thurstan Road to have an environment conducive for learning and knowledge sharing.”

Sri Lanka’s only education provider to hold triple international certification

The Director/CEO of Oxford College says: “Having an environment conducive for learning is of paramount importance to achieve the optimum learning experience.

In the field of education, it is very important that we look at offering high quality education services, and being OSHAS 18001 certified takes us one step closer in offering all our students a high quality learning experience from the time they first step foot into the business school. Whilst we were the 1st education provider to hold the dual ISO certification (ISO 9001 and 14001), Oxford College of Business is now the only education provider in Sri Lanka to hold all three international certifications, which is truly a remarkable achievement to which I give all glory and honour to God alone, for this achievement. The OSHAS 18001 certification gives our students, facilitators and partner universities the assurance that work is consistently performed to the highest possible standards. Oxford College has been ISO 9001 certified since 2013 and received ISO 14001 in 2014. This year’s addition of the OSHAS 18001 standard gives me and my staff in particular pleasure and encouragement in continuing to offer education that meet world class standards right here in Sri Lanka.”
