18 January 2012

Smart Architectural Aluminium has successfully attained the BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety standard.

This award accompanies the Company’s current ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems and ISO 14001 Environment Management Systems standards, making Smart the first aluminium systems company in the UK to attain all three standards.

The BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety standard is an internationally recognised assessment that has been developed to help organisations to identify, monitor and reduce potential risks in their health and safety obligations.

To attain the standard Smart were able to demonstrate that they have put in place planning and management policies for potential risks, emergency preparedness and awareness and also a monitoring procedure to reduce the risk of accidents.

‘Attaining this standard has been very important for Smart’, explains Eddie Robinson, Managing Director. ‘Alongside our ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditations it demonstrates our commitment to managing our business efficiently, responsibly and with a risk management strategy that protects our workforce.’ 

The success of the company has raised the expectations of their customer base in terms of quality and service and demands a serious commitment by Smart on these issues. This standard fulfils these expectations and also raises the bar for the rest of the industry.
