| Govt, Health and Education The standards below are of particular relevence to any government, health or education related business. You can get further information on certification to these standards, or request a quote . ISO 9001- Quality Once considered only applicable in factories and production centres, the revised ISO 9001 Standard is enjoying a significant expansion of applications including the services sector, public organisations and office based enterprises. Still considered a ‘must have’ for many contractual and government business relationships, certification to the ISO 9001 Standard not only provides confidence that your business is efficient, but also offers verification to your customers that you have an effective continuous improvement process in place. DES- Disability Is your organisation supporting the employment of people with disabilities? Certification to the Federal Government’s Disability Services Quality Assurance (DESQA) Standard gives public recognition that your services meet defined standards, creates greater confidence amongst your staff and clients, and helps ensure continued funding by the Commonwealth Government. ISO 14001- Environment Nearly every organisation, even those with seemingly little opportunity to lift environmental performance, is being encouraged to review its impacts on natural resources, and implement systems that can save energy, paper, and waste. An EMS certified to the ISO 14001 Standard can markedly improve an organisation’s environmental footprint and stimulate staff and suppliers with a shared aim of reducing landfill volumes, reusing or recycling materials, and promoting a more responsible corporate image. AS 4801- Safety Safety risks and litigation costs lurk in the most unlikely places. An independently certified safety management system to AS 4801 or SafetyMap Standards can be a very effective tool for minimizing accident costs, and improving safety awareness in your workplace. Just as important, an NCS International certified SMS tells your workforce and the public that your organisation is a responsible employer and service provider. |
