Environmental Management Systems must be put into place whenever there are dangerous goods used or stored
. AS4801 Audits should be used to ensure all such dangerous goods are stored and used in a safe and proper way to minimise risk to the user, other personnel on the site and the environment. Such audits will also establish what items are stored and how they are transported; the way it is handled and by whom and who is in charge.
It will make sure that only those dangerous goods that are compatible will be stored together, and that the storage method is an approved one with a proper internal bund to contain possible leaks. It will also ensure that flammables are stored away from sources of ignition.
Since there are a great number of rules and regulations to ensure safety in the workplace, Integrated Management Systems can be put into place to improve the image of a company by ensuring that all such rules are being adhered to, achieving certification and increasing efficiency.
The ISO 14001 Environmental Management System has become the cornerstone of certification and is applicable to those organisations wishing to implement such a system and ensure it abides by all the regulations and achieve the correct certification. ISO 14001 Audits will ensure that such environmental safety measures have been put into place and are correctly followed.
ISO Quality Assurance Certification is gained by following the rules and regulations of the ISO 9001 Quality Management System. This standard has been globally recognised and implemented to provide assurance of quality requirements, thus enhancing customer satisfaction.
