Malta International Airport (MIA) has become the first EU airport to achieve ISO 45003 certification, recognising its efforts to safeguard both the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of its workforce. ISO 45003 offers guidelines for managing psychological risks in the workplace, making the airport a pioneer among its peers. The airport has also attained ISO 45001 certification, which focuses on health and safety, including mental and emotional support for employees, particularly during major projects.

“Both ISO certifications stand as a testament to Malta International Airport’s unwavering commitment to health and safety excellence. Beyond simply reflecting the high standards that our company upholds, this achievement underscores our commitment to cultivating a workplace where employees and stakeholders feel valued and supported, which ultimately contributes to a safer, more seamless journey for every passenger,” said Lead Health and Safety Officer Daniela Borg.

Peter Cain, Country Manager of Bureau Veritas Malta, praised the management’s commitment to employee wellbeing. With ongoing infrastructure projects, the airport ensures risk assessments, protocols, and continuous staff training.

Alexia Aquilina, Head of People and Culture, emphasised that safety, wellbeing, and professional growth are deeply connected, fostering a positive work environment that attracts and retains talent. “When employees feel that their wellbeing is valued, they are more engaged, motivated, and committed to their work,” Aquilina said.
