“As electrical and instrumentation engineers delivering services to the public and private sectors, having certified quality, environmental and health and safety systems gives us real kudos and helps when going for new work. “Having well established quality and environmental certified systems with LRQA, we were well placed to add OHSAS 18001 with minimal additional work. Having combined assessment visits from LRQA also means we benefit from a joined-up approach, with valuable insight from each of the assessment team. As much of the work is on-site, the big advantage for us in having combined assessments is in being able to keep disruption to a minimum. “The LRQA approach works well for us and we value the advice and support given from all part of their business." Mark Glasper, Quality & Environmental Manager, Watson Norie Ltd. Many companies now hold certification to numerous standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 27001. For organisations in this position, it makes sense to combine two or more management system standards into a single or ‘integrated’ system. The integrated approach stretches far beyond simply placing several sets of procedures in one manual but is about having a single management system that complies with the requirements of two or more standards. LRQA is now able to provide combined assessment visits for those businesses operating multiple management systems. We’ve invested heavily in cross training of our assessors to respond to client needs and our unique assessment methodology ensures that we can continue to provide a high quality service while maintaining the integrity of our services. The benefits can be significant:
