Quality, safety and environmental responsibility are at the heart of A&J Australia’s operations. As one of Australia’s most trusted manufacturers of rigid and flexible packaging materials, we recognise that maintaining the highest standards isn’t just about producing exceptional products, but also about creating a safe workplace, protecting the environment and ensuring customer satisfaction. That’s why we’ve achieved a series of internationally recognised certifications that reflect our unwavering dedication to excellence. This blog post will take a close look at these certifications, going over what they mean and why they matter to our customers, partners and employees.

ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety

A safe workplace is a productive workplace. At A&J Australia, we take the health and safety of our employees seriously. That’s why we have an ISO 45001 certification – the global standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management systems.

This certification ensures we:

• Clearly define responsibilities and authorities for workplace safety
• Conduct risk assessments to identify and mitigate hazards
• Provide ongoing training and education to employees
• Maintain compliance with all relevant OHS laws
• Hold regular safety meetings and management reviews
• Address safety concerns through a structured corrective action system

With ISO 45001 in place, we can more easily create a proactive safety culture, ensuring our employees operate in a risk-conscious environment while producing high-quality products for our customers.

ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System

Sustainability is another priority for our team. The ISO 14001 certification demonstrates our commitment to minimising environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency.

This certification ensures we:

• Actively assess and manage environmental risks in our operations
• Implement recycling and waste disposal programs, including responsible management of prescribed waste
• Continuously monitor compliance with Australian environmental laws
• Improve energy efficiency and resource usage in our manufacturing processes
• Conduct environmental risk assessments and take corrective action to prevent pollution
• Engage in regular environmental meetings and management reviews

Sustainability is a big part of our daily operations, ensuring we meet our environmental goals while offering eco-conscious packaging solutions.

ISO 9001 – Quality Management System

At A&J Australia, quality is non-negotiable. Our ISO 9001 certification reinforces our commitment to delivering consistently high-quality products and services.

This certification ensures we:

• Implement strict quality control measures across all production processes
• Regularly review performance data to identify areas for improvement
• Maintain clear communication channels with employees, suppliers and customers
• Use structured internal audits to monitor compliance with quality standards
• Address and prevent recurring quality issues through a corrective action system

With ISO 9001 in place, we provide customers with the assurance that our packaging solutions meet the highest industry benchmarks for reliability and excellence.

HACCP – Food Safety Management

For businesses in the food industry, safety is just as important as quality. A&J Australia holds HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) certification, which is a globally recognised standard for food safety.

This ensures that:

• Our packaging materials meet strict hygiene and contamination control standards
• Risk assessments are carried out to identify potential food safety hazards
• Stringent manufacturing processes reduce the risk of contamination
• Handling and storage of food packaging materials adhere to best industry practices

By achieving HACCP certification, we give food manufacturers confidence that our packaging solutions support and enhance their own food safety systems.

Why These Certifications Matter

At A&J Australia, we believe our certifications go beyond basic industry compliance. They’re a testament to our dedication to our customers, employees and the environment. These credentials mean:

• Clients can trust that our packaging solutions meet the highest standards in quality, safety and sustainability.
• We maintain a safe and healthy workplace, ensuring staff are well-trained and protected.
