Clean Estates Awarded OHSAS 18001
There is growing pressure from clients for suppliers to demonstrate improvements to all service areas and particularly with regard to Health & Safety Management.
Clean Estates has held both ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certification for a number of years. Earlier this year the company sought better recognition of its high standards of Health & Safety and Environmental Management procedures and as a result ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 were re-awarded to Clean Estates by BSI accredited by UKAS - The United Kingdom Accreditation Service.
UKAS is the sole national accreditation body recognised by government to assess, against internationally agreed standards, organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services.
To further demonstrate our commitment to continually improve our systems and procedures within the business, Clean Estates forged ahead and has just been awarded OHSAS 18001 certification through UKAS.
This achievement puts us ahead of many of our competitors that do not hold this well respected industry qualification.
The (OHSAS) specification gives requirements for an occupational health and safety management system, to enable an organisation to control its OH&S risks and improve its performance.
OHSAS 18001 was created via the concerted effort from a number of the world’s leading national standards bodies, certification bodies, and specialist consultancies.
It is important that those in the business community have a good awareness and understanding of the benefits that accreditation can offer and the services available from UKAS.
As we enter an era of increasingly rapid change, it is important for businesses to be able to demonstrate their products are fit for purpose. The CBI fully endorses the view that, for markets to function properly, purchasers must have confidence the standards are being met.
Lucy Findlay, Head of Enterprise, CBI
