CLEVELAND Bridge UK’s commitment to occupational health and safety best practice has been given international recognition.
The Darlington-based manufacturer has also used migrating to the new standard to further champion Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) activities within the organisation.
An example includes the establishment of a team of SHE Champions who, with the support of the company’s Training Department, have become qualified internal auditors tasked with supporting the Cleveland Bridge’s drive for the continuous improvement of its processes and systems.
The company undertook a comprehensive audit and upgrade programme, which was delivered internally by its SHE Department and verified by external auditor SCCS.
The external auditor also undertook successful visits to Cleveland Bridge’s extensive 22-acre production facility as well as to an external site where the company was part of a construction project.
Chris Droogan, Managing Director of Cleveland Bridge UK, said: “Achieving ISO45001 is testament to the health and wellbeing culture we have created and the commitment of our people to deliver safe operations across every area of our business."
