 ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems (QMS)


Quality Management Systems help to prevent avoidable errors from occurring through documentation, planning, communicating, training, auditing, analysing data and reviews. QMS also promote 'Right First Time' and 'Continual Improvement' ideals, thus improving client / customer satisfaction by preventing errors, rather than correcting mistakes!

A guarantee or a warranty is no replacement for 'Quality' and is only a fall-back position. Suitability for, and customer satisfaction with, products or services is a true quality indicator. Quality can never be 'Inspected' into products and services as it requires top management commitment as part of a never-ending journey towards excellence!

 ISO 14001 - Environmental Management Systems (EMS)


Environmental Management Systems require environmental policy, objectives, targets and control measures to reduce adverse environmental impacts. EMS also help to reduce operating costs and contribute to environmental & ecological sustainability, conservation and improvement, particularly with commitment by the whole organisation.

Major changes in the world's climate, economic principles and politics are leading many organisations to develop and implement significant environmental improvements. EMS help to achieve substantial and significant environmental changes, particularly through staff commitment, especially when encouraged and motivated by top management!

 OHSAS 18001 - Health & Safety Management Systems (SMS)


Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems help to create a Health & Safety 'Culture' for staff working in inherently unsafe and hazardous environments. By operating an SMS 'Hazards' are identified and recorded, 'Risks' are assessed and minimised, staff are trained, health & safety is enhanced and 'Safety Awareness' is improved.

Health & safety is heavily regulated in many countries, causing organisations to rely on external safety 'Inspections' rather than implementing safe working practices. SMS can achieve and sustain occupational health & safety improvements and real-term benefits, particularly with positive commitment and clear direction from top management!

 Integrated Management Systems (IMS)


Integrated Management Systems combine common management system elements that link business functions with corporate vision, mission, policy, objectives and targets. Implementing an IMS should enhance and reinforce existing good practices, rather than changing the way existing processes are undertaken, supervised and managed.

One major benefit of an IMS is the reduced 'Repetition' of commonly required activities, thus saving time and money. IMS help organisations take a 'Major Step' on the never ending journey towards continual improvement, where staff are effectively motivated and supported by management to deliver their best possible work - every time!

 ISO 22000 / HACCP - Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS)


ISO 22000 & HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point) management systems for safe processing and handling of foodstuffs, apply to food used for human consumption. FSMS food hygiene control requirements for producing foodstuffs are set out, which seek to prevent food borne injury, ill-health and even fatality in extreme cases!

Food hygiene control protocols are established, implemented and audited throughout the food chain to protect the health of food processors, handlers and consumers. Hazard identification, risk assessment, analyses and controls anticipate potential contamination sources and aim to eliminate all known and potential food safety hazards and risks.

 SA 8000 - Social Accountability (SA) Systems


SA 8000 systems bring a 'Social Conscience' to business practices to ensure that human rights, particularly the rights of children, are effectively protected. Policies, objectives, procedures and controls are implemented to align with local and international regulations regarding employment conditions, protection, ethics, working practices, etc.

Establishing an 'Accountability' regime is a positive step towards public scrutiny as SA systems help highlight any malpractices and injustices that may already exist. National and international organisations that trade with public and private businesses worldwide should demonstrate that their corporate social accountability is beyond reproach.

 FSC-CoC - Forest Stewardship Council - Chain of Custody


The Forest Stewardship Council is an independent, non-governmental, and not for profit organisation established to promote responsible management of sustainable forests.
The FSC trademark recognises organisations who support responsible forest management, and gives customers an easy way to recognise independently certified products.

As concerns about forest resources increase, FSC certification represents companies who recognise and comply with high social & environmental standards. FSC certification also protects brand recognition and facilitates access to environmentally sensitive markets. Many governments and other organisations now specify FSC products only!

 ISO 27001 - Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)


Information Security Management Systems require a working environment where potential for information and data loss and corruption is minimised and well managed. By operating a user-friendly ISMS, inherent vulnerabilities are identified, threats are reduced, staff are well trained and information security measures are enhanced.

Information security requirements are mandated and regulated in many countries to help avoid highly damaging losses and corruption of sensitive documents and data. ISMS help achieve significant improvements in day-to-day operational practices, particularly through the commitment and support actively demonstrated by top management.
