Control and Consistency
With so much at stake, it is simply not enough to demonstrate a product on a one-off basis before making it available to a mass market. Floodwater will by its nature find the weakest link and it is therefore imperative to control the standards throughout the manufacturing and delivery processes.
Likewise it is not difficult to make high-minded and aspiring statements about environment or health and safety. Managed processes are equally important for control of these aspects as the consequences of individual incidents can be very significant.Controlled procedures, monitoring and review are of paramount
importance in meeting company aims and values.

OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety Management Systems
OHSAS 18001 is the latest certification specification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. It is based on already published criteria such as BS 8800 and the Management Regulations 1992. OHSAS 18001, is an audit/certification specification, not a legislative requirement or a guide to implementation. Organisations registered to OHSAS 18001 can be more confident about meeting the requirements of H & S legislation. The setting of targets through the Health and Safety policy, together with the ongoing measurement against it ensures a process of continual improvement.
