It is a requirement of holding certification to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 that you meet all of your compliance obligations, based on your environmental aspects and key health & safety hazards. You are required to provide evidence that you have evaluated your business against identified regulations and that you have acted where you think there may be a failure to meet these.
QCS are experts at ensuring you continue to fulfil the requirements of ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 by offering a compliance evaluation service. We can review your existing legal registers (covering environmental and health & safety law), update these and then seek confirmation you are meeting statutory requirements. We generate all records and evidence required to meet the requirements of the relevant standards.
Your existing register for legislation is reviewed to ensure that it reflects all the current legislation relevant to your business. If you do not have a register, we can develop one for you. Laws, regulations and directives are always changing and you can rely on our experts to ensure your register is up to date.
We then undertake a specialist audit to ensure that evidence exists to prove your legal compliance. It is a record of this audit, and its results, that are required by your certification body when reviewing the effectiveness of your management systems.
By using QCS we help to reduce your compliance risk. We also provide you with support and guidance on actions you may wish to consider should we identify any shortcomings in your legal compliance.
Ensuring legal compliance is key to supporting your EMS/OH&S objectives… our report provides you with a summary of compliance risks to help you to develop your objectives during your management review.
The consultancy support required for this activity varies by standards to be covered (Environment, Health & Safety, or both) the complexity of your business and the legal framework within which you operate.
