What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management of businesses. It prescribes controls for those activities that have an effect on the environment, including the use of natural resources, handling and treatment of waste, energy consumption & recycling.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING ISO 14001?

Implementing an Environmental Management System is a systematic way to identify and control the effects your company has on the environment. Cost savings can be made through improved efficiency. This is achieved by detecting ways to minimise waste and dispose of it more consciously and effectively, and by learning how to use energy more efficiently. It verifies compliance with current legislation and makes insurance coverage more accessible.

What is OHSAS 18001?

OHSAS is the certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems based on current criteria such as BS8800, Health and Safety at work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CERTIFICATION TO OHSAS 18001?

Registration to OHSAS 18001 demonstrates a commitment to implement, maintain and improve the way in which you manage your Health and safety system.

If your company has 4 or more staff you will have to document your Health and Safety Policy, Responsibilities and Arrangements by law. Documented risk assessments are also a requirement.

If you have to comply with these requirements then why not control the activities within an independently assessed management system?
Alternatively we can assist you with all the legal requirements relative to your business
