Management Systems
The Group operates an integrated management system using custom-built software known as IMSOL (Integrated Management System On Line). This covers the following standards:
- ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems;
- ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Systems; and
- OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
A key part to maintaining the system is the three tier audit system that is in place:
- The BS / ISO approvals held by the Group are third party audited by BSI (United Kingdom Accreditation System - UKAS approved).
- Our offices and sites are also third party audited by Hurst Setter and Associates Ltd.
- The third tier is internal auditing carried out by our own trained auditors within the Group.
The system is administered by an Executive Administration Board and the Board of Directors have appointed the Chief Executive, Mr R Moyle, with Board responsibility for Safety, Quality and Environmental matters. The Chief Executive accepts the ultimate responsibility for this Policy and provides an appropriate allocation of financial and physical resources for the implementation and monitoring of this Policy. He is supported by the Group Quality, Environment, Safety and Health (QUESH) department and external safety advisors.
Our general aims are as follows:
- We minimise our use or resources, prevent pollution and minimise waste to reduce our carbon footprint.
- We minimise our environmental impacts for the benefit of all persons involved, the climate and our clients.
- Where practicable and economically viable, we shall recover and recycle in preference to disposal.
- We meet or exceed Product, Safety, Quality and Environmental requirements as required by our Customers.
- We communicate this policy and the results of our activities, to members of the Company; to our shareholders; to our clients; to second and third parties as appropriate; and to the public.
We comply with all applicable Product, Health, Safety and Environmental legislation and other applicable permits / licences in accordance with our Company Aspects and Risks.

- We establish and review objectives and targets for Quality, Health, Safety and the Environment on an annual basis.
The aim is to GET IT RIGHT FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME, AND STRIVE FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
