ISO 9001 is a standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system.

It helps businesses and organisations to be more efficient and improve customer satisfaction. The system is recognised around the world as setting the standard for quality to help you increase your reputation with existing and new potential customers.

What benefits will it bring to my business or organisation?

Implementing a quality management system will help you:

• Assess the overall context of your organisation to define who is affected by your work and what they expect from you. This will enable you to clearly state your objectives and identify new business opportunities.
• Identify and address the risks associated with your organisation.
• Put your customers first, making sure you consistently meet their needs and expectations. This can lead to repeat custom, new customers and increased business for your organisation.
• Work in a more efficient way as all of your processes will be aligned and understood by everyone in the organisation. This increases productivity and efficiency, bringing internal cost-downs.
•  Meet necessary statutory and regulatory requirements.
• Expand into new markets, as some sectors and clients require ISO 9001 before doing business.

ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed standard that sets out the requirements for an environmental management system.

It helps organisations improve their environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste, gaining a competitive advantage and the trust of stakeholders.

Like all ISO management system standards, ISO 14001 includes the need for continual improvement of an organisation’s systems and approach to environmental concerns. 

 What benefits will it bring to my business or organisation? 

There are many reasons why an organisation should take a strategic approach to improving its environmental performance. Users of the standard have reported that ISO 14001 helps:

• Demonstrate compliance with current and future statutory and regulatory requirements.
• Increase leadership involvement and engagement of employees.
• Improve company reputation and the confidence of stakeholders through strategic communication.
• Achieve strategic business aims by incorporating environmental issues into business management.
• Provide a competitive and financial advantage through improved efficiencies and reduced costs.
• Encourage better environmental performance of suppliers by integrating them into the  organisation’s business system.

ISO 45001 is applicable to all organisations, regardless of size, industry or nature of business. Improving your Health and Safety System to the level required. ISO 45001 helps your organisation control health and safety risks and comply with regulations. 

What are the benefits for my business?

ISO 45001 enables organisations to put in place an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system. This will help them manage their OH&S risks and improve their OH&S performance by developing and implementing effective policies and objectives with the overall aim to improve the health and safety culture within an organisation and lead to:- 

• Reduction of workplace incidents
• Reduced absenteeism and staff turnover, leading to increased productivity
• Reduced cost of insurance premiums
• Creation of a health and safety culture, whereby employees are encouraged to take an active role in their own OH&S
•  Reinforced leadership commitment to proactively  improve OH&S performance
• Ability to meet legal and regulatory requirements
• Enhanced reputation 
• Improved staff morale

Health and Safety compliance in the workplace has never been more important, with a growing need for businesses to comply with legislation required by the Health and Safety Executive.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 imposes basic legal duties upon employers to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees as far as is reasonably practicable.  This information is documented in the form of policies which are reviewed as necessary.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 re-enforce the Act, but also place a detailed responsibility on employers to produce risk assessments which are sufficient to proactively manage Health & Safety risks that arise in the workplace. It is then necessary to reduce these risks by implementing sensible Health & Safety control measures, documenting and reviewing these as necessary.

 What Are the Benefits of Good Health and Safety Management?

• You will be legally compliant
• Reduced Insurance Premiums
• Reduced risk for potential prosecution
• Improved Health & Safety performance
