ABCO successfully transitions to new international quality and environmental management standards

ABCO Marine / ABCO Divers has achieved recertification of our UKAS accredited Integrated Management Systems, namely:

• ISO 9001 QUALITY MANAGEMENT
• ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
• BS OHSAS 18001 HEALTH and SAFETY

Following a recent audit by SGS, ABCO has been accredited against the new quality and environmental management systems, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 respectively.

QHSE Director, Ryan McDermott, said: “Our transition to the updated international standards for quality and environmental management will provide our customers and stakeholders with continued confidence in the way we operate our business. The new standards place greater emphasis on our leadership team across the business to drive strategic improvements and sustained business performance adopting a risk and opportunity based thinking approach”.

The new standards were launched in 2015 with businesses expected to demonstrate successful adoption of the new standards by September 2018.

ABCO also retained OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety registration, which provides a framework for the effective management of health and safety including all aspects of risk management and legal compliance.
