From their headquarters in Edinburgh, ASC Edinburgh Limited offer high-quality scaffolding, labour, and materials for projects all over Scotland and occasionally to the North of England. From consultation to project planning, through to technical support and on-site management, ASC Limited offers a wide range of services to industrial, commercial, and private clients.
As a company offering high-quality products and services, the team at ASC know just how important a company’s image can be. A poor company image can suggest poor quality of service, regardless of a company’s actual processes and procedures.
Acknowledging this, ASC Limited set their sights on obtaining an ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety certification. As an internationally-recognised management system, ISO 45001 demonstrates a focus on the health and safety issues that many companies face, and helps promote improved employee safety and wellbeing. What’s more, by implementing an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System, organisations can benefit from improved efficiency, lower insurance premiums, fewer costs, and compliance to legislative requirements.
In order to assist them in achieving certification, ASC sought to enlist the help of IMSM, a leading ISO consultancy. The services IMSM provided helped ensure that ASC’s certification was a success.
According to Gordon McKenzie, Director at ASC, the company have experienced a number of benefits since achieving ISO certification. “Initial benefits are that it reduces time spent on completing process performance qualification documents. Going forward, we are optimistic that by having attained this higher level of certification we will attract more business.”
“Having now gained ISO 45001 status, we would like to continue to raise our company’s professional profile. Going forward, as part of our planning processes, we aim to set objectives for working towards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.”
