Kador's integrated management system was recently audited and certified by SAI Global as complying with ISO 14001:2004 (environmental management systems) and AS/NZS 4801:2001 (occupational health and safety management systems).
ISO 14001:2004 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a structured and systematic approach to environmental management. The standard applies to those environmental aspects that the organisation can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence. As such it provides a sound basis for organisations to meet their environmental challenges.
AS/NZS 4801:2001, the Australian and New Zealand standard for safety management, shares common management systems principles with ISO 14001. This standard sets auditable criteria for an occupational health and safety management system and includes guidance on how those criteria may be achieved.
In recent years, Kador's clients have placed greater emphasis on the safety and environmental management systems in place at their suppliers workshops, and in response, Kador commenced the process of gaining these accreditations in late 2006.
Kador's managing director, Philip Smith said, "Gaining these accreditations is a reflection of the significant improvements in safety and environmental performance that our work crews have achieved in recent years. We look forward to further and continuous improvement now that formal certification has been achieved."
