In today's competitive marketplace, companies increasingly find that registration to ISO 9001:2008 gives them a competitive edge over other firms in their industry. This gives companies the opportunity to add to their bottom line by increasing customer satisfaction and focusing on continual improvement.

Many organisations request our services when installation of a new system is required quickly, or where they have too much documentation, staff who are not confident in managing their Quality Management System effectively or are unsure as to what extent their system can be changed and updated.

A growing number of companies are recognising their corporate responsibilities with regard to environmental issues, whether as a result of increasingly stringent environmental legislation, pressure from customers, ethical reasons, or through choosing to identify cost savings through reducing use of resources.

ISO 14001:2004 provides a vehicle for monitoring and measuring the environmental impact of business activities. However, many companies find that implementation of the Standard to be difficult: employees may show limited enthusiasm for the system, the continual demonstration of increased improvement of their environmental performance can be an onerous task, and the system may not be returning the promised cost savings.

With increasing legislation and rising insurance premiums, organisations are also recognising the need to adopt a more structured approach to hazard identification and risk management. This can contribute to a healthier and safer working environment and the avoidance of a high proportion of accidents and occupational health problems, helping to reduce lost time through employee illness and injury.

Aligned with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004, BS OHSAS 18001:2007 allows the development of a management system that provides a systematic approach to the identification of occupational health & safety hazards and either the elimination of these hazards or reduction of the associated risks.
