Ryan’s Cleaning Event Specialists receives ISO Certification triple crown in ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001

Posted by admin on April 30, 2012 None comments

Ryan’s Cleaning Event Specialist recently received a triple crown in best practice certification from us at a ceremony at Fairyhouse racecourse on April 8. The company specialise in delivering outstanding event cleaning services throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom. Certification Europe guided them through the certification process for ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental) and OHSAS 18001 (Health and safety).

 

The company’s prestigious client list denotes  the high calibre of clients which they represent. Clients include: the O2, Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and Dublin Zoo. In addition they have work with events such as Oxygen, Electric Picnic, V Festivals, Download concert, the National Ploughing Championships and this year The London Olympics 2012.

 

The Environmental management standard ISO 14001 required the company to establish an environmental policy which charted the organisation’s impact on the environment. This was a very important element given that music and arts festivals generally produce a large quantity of waste. Thus following a ‘green’ policy ensured that the company could highlight to their investors and clients that the company was committed to reducing the environmental footprint produced by the event. Good news for event consumers who are conscious of choosing events which are environmentally friendly.

 

To comply with ISO 9001 the Ryan’s Cleaning Event Specialists strengthened their quality procedures and protocols in order to ensure that their clients’ needs were being met to the highest possible standards.

The last standard OHSAS 18001 is an international best practice standard in occupational, health and safety management system. This standard required the company to implement stringent work safety practices, risk assessment and legislative compliance procedures; again a benchmark which large scale event organisers recognise as best practice.

Overall Ryan’s Cleaning Event Specialist triple award has allowed them to stand out in the events cleaning crown as a company who is striving towards industry excellence at all times.

We are delighted to have recently awarded ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification, to Dawn Meats, Ballyhaunis.

 

With the awarding of this certification it now positions the Dawn Meats as an environmental leader in the Irish food industry.

 

As part of their ISO 14001 environmental strategy, the company focused on three key areas, Water Consumption, Energy Consumption and Product Packaging. Through a series of technology and work practices changes, Dawn Meats have managed to achieve a saving of 10,000 m3 of water per annum and up to 70,000 liters of oil a year, dramatically reducing their carbon footprint!

 

To ensure that this environmentally friendly initiative is continued long after products leave the site, Dawn Meats, Ballyhaunis, with their help of many customers, redesigned the packaging of their products. The new eco-friendly design now uses less cardboard and encourages more recycling.

 

Dawn Meats are reducing their carbon footprint and leading the way towards an environmentally friendly meat industry!

5 Things you need to know about ISO 50001 and energy efficiency in your business

Posted by admin on January 12, 2012 None comments

What is it?
For those of you are not familiar with the new certification standard. ISO 50001 is a new tool that is designed to establish a framework for industrial plants, commercial facilities and entire organizations to manage energy well into the future.

 

Is it that “Green” thing?
It’s not really even about being “green” all though that is an added benefit. At its core like any good business practice it’s about increasing efficiencies and reducing cost or increasing outputs. Essentially it’s about better business.

 

Gone tomorrow?
And it’s not a fleeting thing either, some experts have estimated that when it reaches more widespread adoption ISO 50001 could impact over 60 percent of global energy usage. A staggering figure that could have serious implications into the future for industrial efficiencies and cost saving.

 

What are the requirements?
ISO 50001 does have specific requirements; more information on these requirements can be found on this page ISO 50001 . ISO 50001 is about continuous improvement. So it’s really about where your organization is right now and drawing up a plan for where you’re going to go in the future and how you manage energy and where you’re aiming to find energy savings.

 

Where is the value?
The value of ISO 50001 is that it provides a framework for this continual improvement for facilities on energy performance, and across the entire organization. To be certified, you have to conform to the ISO 50001 management standard, and you have to improve your energy performance, and get your energy management system audited by an accredited certification body.  This is where Certification Europe can help.

 

Give us a call or drop us a line and we can take you through how ISO 50001 can help your business. Certification Europe is the only accredited and approved certification body in Western Europe for ISO 50001 and some of our energy management system clients include, Abbott, GlaxoSmithKline, London South Bank University, Bank Of Ireland, DePuy, Pfizer and Xerox.
