Following the desktop audit on the 15th August, RPS has now passed the compliance audit and are accredited under OHSAS 18001 : 2007. RPS has had a comprehensive Health & Safety Management System in place since the company commenced work 10 years ago, and with the success of another year fully compliant with ISO 14001 : 2004, the company is extremely please to announce the accomplishment of the internationally recognised standard for health and safety, OHSAS 18001 : 2007.
The Health & Safety Manager, Jez Norton, and Environmental Manager, Thomas Hudson, have worked hard to put all the documents together and show competent practice of all procedures to create an integral system which has resulted in the audit's success and it is evident that all the hard work has been worth it. With RPS’s main ethos of reduce, reuse, recycle, we not only mean the reduction of packaging costs to our clients through reuse and recycling, we also mean reduction of accidents and incidents on site and the reduction of our energy requirement and waste generated by reusing and recycling where possible. All RPS’s efforts demonstrate the company’s health, safety and environmental awareness to become fully compliant under the international standard.
The accreditation body QMS conducted both the OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 audits for RPS. They were very professional in their approach, providing helpful advice and guidance. Their staff are extremely friendly and pleasant to work with and they definitely went the extra mile to assist our company.
A copy of the RPS OHSAS 18001 certificate can be found in the RPS Audit Pack, which is available as a download.
