ISO 9001 Quality Management System

It is a key tool to allow you to standardize your process to ensure consistent results every time. An effective Quality Management System will enhance customer satisfaction, achieve consistency, improve internal processes and assist in gaining repeat business from your customers.

The internationally recognized ISO 9001 series of Standards is a generic program. It is not aligned to a particular product or service and is therefore very flexible. It can be applied to any service or manufacturing company.

The ISO 9001 Standard is not designed to tell you how to manage your business, rather it is a tool that you can use to improve consistency and efficiency within your business systems and operations.

How will your business benefit from certification to this Standard?

• Certification to an internationally recognized third party Standard such as ISO 9001 is increasingly becoming a condition of contract within Industry. More and more companies require suppliers to have this certification.
• The ISO 9001 system can be utilized within your business to improve efficiency by standardizing processes and procedures saving your staff time and your business money.
• Management systems certification can be used as a competitive advantage particularly in the tender process leading to increased tender success and increased business opportunities.

OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety System

The safety management systems OHSAS 18001 states that an OHS Management System is "that part of the overall management system which includes organisational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures and resources for developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the OHS policy and so managing the risks associated with the business of the 
organisation".
With the endless amount of both state and federal legislation surrounding occupational health and safety, a safety management system can thoroughly assist and organisation with regulatory compliance. Via regular audits an organisation can be confident that they are meeting their health and safety obligations.

The benefits of a safety management system

A good safety management system provides a business with an effective way of protecting their employees and others from injuries and illness that occur in the workplace. Other benefits include:

• Due Diligence: A safety system helps demonstrate that management is meeting its legal responsibilities in relation to safety legislation and regulation and is doing so effectively. 
• Consultation: A systematic approach to processes ensures that employees and other stakeholders are involved in the business and are aware of health and safety concerns before they become much larger problems.
• Performance Verification: Systems can be audited and monitored to provide independent verification that health and safety performance is meeting expectations. Gaps in the processes can be quickly identified and corrected.
• Cost Efficiencies: A well-functioning safety management system will deliver long term cost efficiencies. Think about what your organisation can save by avoiding workplace injuries and illnesses as well as reducing any damage to property.

ISO 14001 Enivronmental Management System

The pressure to meet stringent environmental requirements placed upon companies has never been greater. As consumers move their focus towards sustainability rather than purely price, Industry must respond by decreasing its environmental impacts and improving its use of raw materials and recycling.

The internationally recognized ISO 14001 series of Standards is a good starting point to assist companies to identify the areas within their operations where they can improve their environmental performance.

HACCP and ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System

• International Standards provide a reference framework, or a common technological language, between suppliers and their customers - which facilitates trade and the transfer of technology. ISO 22000:2005 is an international standard related to Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS).
• ISO 22000:2005 focuses on the total food chain – farming, processing, manufacturing, wholesale, retail food service and also on the interested parties – customers, suppliers, public authorities, etc...

The benefits of a Food Safety Management System

FSMS is being adopted by many food chain industries to analyze, identify critical controls and establish measures to prevent potential hazards associated with a food – be it biological or physical.

With emerging challenges in the food industry, many organizations are adopting food safety system on a wider basis. There also is increasing public health concern about chemical contamination of food. Another important factor is that the size of the food industry and the diversity of products and processes have grown tremendously – both domestic and imported.

For food industry, adoption of FSMS is becoming imperative to reach global standards, demonstrate compliance to Regulations/Customer requirements besides providing safer food to our millions. 

More and more industries are adopting it as complimentary to the QMS, thereby deriving multiple benefits.

ISO 27001 Information Security Management System

ISO/IEC 27001 aims to ensure that adequate controls addressing confidentiality, integrity and availability of information are in place to safeguard the information of interested parties. These include customers, employees, trading partners and the needs of society in general.

Unprotected systems are vulnerable to all kinds of threats, such as computer-assisted fraud, sabotage and viruses. These threats can be internal or external, and both accidental or malicious. Breaches in information security can allow vital information to be accessed, stolen, corrupted or lost. How confident are you that your company has the appropriate controls and procedures in place to avoid such incidents? 

An information security management system compliant to ISO/IEC 27001 can help you demonstrate to trading partners and customers alike that you take information security seriously.

Benefits of ISO/IEC 27001

• Commitment to information security - accredited certification to ISO/IEC 27001 is a powerful demonstration of an organisation's commitment in managing information security
• Competitive advantage - you will gain a competitive advantage as more companies require certification to ISO/IEC 27001 as a prerequisite for doing business. You will be able to make a public statement of capability without revealing your security processes, and you can minimise business risk by ensuring controls are in place to reduce the risk of security threats and to avoid system weaknesses being exploited.

ISO 29001 Oil and Gas

ISO/TS 29001 defines the quality management system requirements for the design, development, production, installation and service of products for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
Developed as a direct result of a partnership between ISO and the international oil and gas industry (led by the American Petroleum Institute - API), ISO 29001 specifically focuses on the oil and gas supply chain.

The ISO/TS 29001 standard is based on ISO 9001 and incorporates supplementary requirements emphasising defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste from service providers.

These requirements have been developed separately to ensure that they are clear and auditable. They also provide global consistency and improved assurance in the supply quality of goods and services from providers. This is particularly important when the failure of goods or services have severe ramifications for the companies and industries involved.

This standard is for all organizations working within the oil and gas industry supply chain. Certification to ISO/TS 29001 ensures standardization and improvement within the sector. 

The organizations that can use the standard are:

• Manufacturers of oil and gas industry equipment and material upstream and downstream
• Service providers to the oil and gas industry
• Purchasers of equipment, materials and services
