Helping you with Certifications

What help do you need?
Business Improvement Services can provide whatever help you need to prepare for certification assessments for the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or OHSAS 18001 management system standards, whether together or as separate projects. We can offer hands-on help throughout the implementation or just provide the necessary documentation to get you started, but whatever your need we will always be there with generous advice and guidance.

These three standards can be implemented separately, or together, as they do contain many commonalities and can be readily integrated.

ISO 9001
Many of the clients of Business Improvement Services who have attained ISO 9001 have remarked that the consultancy work carried out has definitely helped them to achieve more consistent and effective business processes.

Our very practical and common sense approach to ISO 9001 consultancy means relatively easy maintenance with the minimum of overheads. Unless you are a very large organisation implementing ISO 9001 should certainly not require any additional resources. Find out more about our ISO 9001 consultancy

ISO 14001
With continuing focus in the media on climate change it is becoming increasingly important for all types of organisation to demonstrate how they are managing their use of non renewable resources and reducing waste.

ISO 14001 provides a management system framework that will help your business or organisation to identify opportunities for reducing your impact on the environment, with the potential to reduce costs as well as raising your environmental profile among your potential customers.

Both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are increasingly becoming standard pre-requisites for any firms or subcontractors who wish to tender for public sector or other major contracts.

0HSAS 18001
OHSAS 18001 is similar to ISO 14001 in that it provides a framework to assist your business or organisation in managing its occupational health and safety activities, and the identification of risks, and to ensure that it has the means of keeping up with the latest legislation.

The documentation and consultancy help provided for the above standards are intended to meet the requirements of a UKAS accredited certification.

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Brian and his practical, pragmatic and tailored approach made the process enjoyable, successful and also immensely beneficial. We are delighted that we passed the ISO 9001 & 14001 inspections with flying colours and gained two valuable accreditations, and we now have a set of robust procedures in place to allow us to expand the company and follow up new opportunitiesss." MBM Omega

How we can help
Whether you just need some advice on these standards or you've already decided where you need to get to, we can help you achieve your goal via an approach that suits your organisation.

A tailored solution: Rather than offering an "out of the box" solution, we ensure that the eventual management system, be it ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or OHSAS 18001 is very much tailored around your own business. In this way both management and staff will feel greater ownership as well finding it easier to maintain in the longer term.

Optimising: Whether implementing ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or OHSAS 18001 we aim for a good balance between the need to document procedures whilst avoiding unnecessary overheads. Wherever possible, documentation will be written in the language or style appropriate to your own organisation with clearly defined procedures for ease of understanding.

The right approach: We can offer a range of consultant Services depending on the extent that you wish to utilise your own internal resources, as well as any budget constraints. The help we can provide ranges from a basic "kick start" comprising the essential documentation, through to full consultancy taking you right through to certification.

"We have had our stage 1 today and passed with flying colours! The assessor is very impressed with your Manual and said it made his job easier."” EH Nicholls & Son
