Nick Griffiths, H&S Compliance Support at Acclaim Handling commented, “As H&S is at the forefront of everything Acclaim Handling does as a business, and the first topic on our Senior Management Reviews, the Directors were very keen to migrate to the new ISO 45001 standard as soon as possible. Working closely with BSI, who have been independently auditing our H&S management systems for over ten years, we started the migration process at the earliest opportunity in May 2018.”
To achieve the new ISO 45001 standard a group of BSI specialist external auditors carried out a number of very detailed examinations of the company’s H&S management systems, over an eighteen-month period, including going out in the field to observe its engineers working on customers sites.
