Rail recruitment specialists, advance Training & Recruitment Services, has successfully achieved ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 certification – a major milestone for the consultancy, Carl Taylor reports.
Almost a year’s worth of hard work has been put into the development of the company’s policies and procedures in order to continually improve the service and value offered to its clients and candidates.
ISO 9001 is the globally recognised hallmark for robust quality management systems, designed to help organisations successfully meet the needs of their various stakeholders. The certification signifies a responsibility for providing outstanding business practices, excellent customer service and improved operational performance.
OHSAS 18001 is a framework for occupational health and safety management systems which exhibits advance-TRS’ continued focus on workplace health and safety. This accreditation certifies that advance- TRS has a system in place to fully identify and control health and safety risks in the workplace, reducing the potential for future accidents and illnesses whilst demonstrating due diligence to its clients.
Hard Work by All
‘We are delighted to have been awarded ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 certification after months of hard work by everyone here at advance-TRS. We are always looking for ways in which to further develop and improve our service offering to both our candidates and clients and these awards will go a long way to demonstrating that,’ says operations director Paul Merton.
‘Our team is dedicated to providing a first-class recruitment service and these awards will help formalise the ‘client-first’ approach that we are so proud to offer.’
Carried out by ACS Registrars, one of the UK’s premier certification bodies, the extensive assessment required advance-TRS to pass a stringent review of its policies, procedures and processes.
