ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications underway

Implementing accredited systems specific to automotive manufacturing standards for environmental management and health and safety management.

R&HA have taken the first step on the road to achieving formal certification and it sends out a clear message about our commitment and intent.

Providing a quality service in a sustainable way and caring for our workforce are important features of responsible management. Through introducing the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 management systems within our management framework means our new processes will be based on recognised standards.


Key Benefits
  • Operational efficiencies and cost savings
  • Supports stronger legislative compliance, significantly reducing the potential for failure
  • Opens the door to new business as certification is often a condition of supply
  • Sends a clear message about your to quality, sustainability and the welfare of your workforce
  • Improved performance, providing a framework for continuous improvement, increasing staff morale

Obtaining certification to ISO 14001 could actually make a difference to our bottom line. By systematically and critically reviewing
our waste management systems, it may actually identify ways to generate revenue as well as reduce waste.
 

Benefits of 14001

By completing ISO 14001 certification R&HA can assure its customers that it’s environmental management system (EMS) meets automotive industry specific environmental standards. Every company large and small; industrial, manufacturing, services, or trade related have an impact on the environment and can therefore benefit from ISO 14001 certification and it’s transparency.

The accreditation also:

  • Assists to identify cost savings with greater emphasis on resource, waste and energy management
  • Develops a positive and responsible corporate image

  • Potential decrease in public liability insurance costs
  • Grows access to business partners
  
Benefits of OHSAS 18001

By conforming to the OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety management system, R&HA are indicating to its customers and partners that the organisation is committed to protecting the needs of all employees, sub-contractors, the public and customer’s employees.

The accreditation also:
  • Improves corporate image and credibility among stake holders, regulators, customers and the public
  • Adopts international best practice in relation to risk management
  • Minimises liability of employers through adoption of proactive rather than reactive controls
  • Ensures legislative awareness and compliance
  • Reduces accident and incident rates by reducing and eliminating workplace hazards

The intention is that both accreditations will be achieved by the end of November 2016.
