IMS accreditation for H+H UK

Celcon aircrete products company H+H UK has become one of the first manufacturers in the construction industry to achieve BSI accreditation for its Integrated Management System.

The Integrated Management System (IMS) pulls together the company's three individual management systems for quality (ISO 9001), environment (ISO 14001) and health and safety (OHSAS 18001) to produce one coordinated, fully integrated system.

A common set of procedures and documentation is now used throughout the company, covering all aspects of what were previously three separate systems.

This is much more efficient, avoiding conflicts of the different disciplines and saving management time.

Commented Colin Cook, H+H UK's Process Systems Manager, "the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 systems form part of the company's overall business management system and make a major contribution to continual improvement in the quality of H+H UK products and the company's performance in environmental and health and safety matters".

"Integrating the different management systems contributes to the company's efficiency and competitiveness which ultimately brings benefits to our customers".

In July, H+H UK became the first aircrete manufacturer and the first company in the pre-cast concrete industry to achieve accreditation under the Energy Efficiency Accreditation Scheme (EEAS), the UK's independent benchmark for energy efficiency.
