Deep Offshore Logistic Base, (LADOL) said it has once again proven to be one of the top performing and compliant companies in Nigeria, as the company overcame the 2020 challenges and renewed its International Organization Standardization (ISO)  45001:2018, 14001:2015 and 9001 certifications.

This was contained in a statement made available to the press on Thursday.

LADOL said in 2018, it became the first company in West and North Africa to be 45001 and 14001 certified. 

It added that “the rapid adaptions, hard work, perseverance, and high compliance levels were given glowing reviews when the company was re-certified this year ,saying the certifications reflected 20 years of continuous improvement and development by LADOL”. 

It therefore alluded the success to the fact that the staff and management have long believed that embedding best practice and strong policies and procedures into the organisation’s DNA  is one of the key ingredients for its success. 

Continuous improvement in its Management Systems for Quality, Occupational Health and Safety and Environment Management enables the organization to meet and beat international best practices.


ISO 9001 is a quality standard, ISO 45001:2018 is for Occupational Health and Safety, while 14001:2015 is for Environment Management Systems.

The framework for LADOL’s management system is very much driven by the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which is reflected in all the goals, assessments, policies, and procedures of LADOL.

The Managing Director of LADOL, Dr. Amy Jadesimi was part of the audit close out meeting along with several members of the staff and management. Dr. Jadesimi’s closing statements included the following:

“I couldn’t be prouder to have the privileged of leading the LADOL team. 2020 has been a tough year, but throughout, our staff have shown dedication and an impressive work ethic. We have all worked unbelievably hard, but even as the struggle continues ,we remain strong and undeterred because we know we have the knowledge, ability, and tools to keep pushing through and exceeding local and global expectations.

“The audit process is not a tick the box exercise for us, it is an opportunity to demonstrate and improve how we operate. 

“Compliance to these global standards helped us build a rock solid foundation for LADOL. A foundation on which we continuously improve and build every day, every week, and every year for the past two decades and for many more decades to come – a big thank you to all our staff and stakeholders.”

“LADOL’s Integrated Management System, IMS and the Assistant Coordinator of the LADOL ISO 9001:2015 project, Abiodun Ogunyemi Moses said: 

“This shows LADOL’s commitment to the safety and health of her workers and all stakeholders including protection of our environment. Despite the challenges of 2020, LADOL has shown great professionalism in all area, valuing life, and following best practices and international standards in carrying out her activities. This is also proof to all our customers and intending customers that we are can be trusted to deliver value.”
