Kador's integrated management system was recently audited by SAI Global as complying with ISO 14001:2004 (environmental management systems) and OHSAS 18001:2007 (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. It 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. OHSAS 18001:2007, the occupational health and safety management systems standard, 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. It encompasses the requirements of AS/NZS 4801:2001, the Australian and New Zealand standard for safety management.
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 started work to adopt these standards in late 2006.
Kador's managing director, Philip Smith, said: "The success of these audits 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 in future."
