A notable increase in the amount of contract tenders stipulating organisations are required to be OHSAS 18001 accredited is a welcome development for those businesses who have invested in this ethos.
Employers who are keen to ensure projects are completed safely and efficiently are fast recognising the benefits offered of employing a UKAS accredited OHSAS 18001 organisation acknowledging the accreditation as the first vital step in understanding how a business operates.

In addition to OHSAS 18001 during the course of 2011 there has been a significant rise in the request for industry specific NVQ qualified labour, again this is a very encouraging development for those who have invested in their workforce particularly in specialist skill sectors such as lightning protection, steeplejacks, rope access and scaffolding.
For more information on NVQ for the lightning protection and steeplejack sector call Churchill Specialist Contracting Ltd 0844 504 9998.
