WorkingWell Occupational Healthcare has become the first occupational healthcare provider in the world to achieve ISO 9001:2008 certification.

Regional Administrative Director Tim Ross said the certification makes WorkingWell a standout among occupational health-care providers.

“Those industries that have an ISO standard know what it takes to get it,” he said.

Ross thinks companies that need occupation health-care services now will choose WorkingWell over other providers because of the certification.
