Quality and Environmental Management

Quality Management Systems

Whether you work with the International ISO 9001:2000 or another business management model, certification calls for the same ultimate outcome that you provide evidence of how your company consistently achieves high standards of customer service,  and how your chosen QMS supports the delivery of appropriate technical requirements.

SILconsulting provides expertise in aligning a QMS to specific technical requirements, such as BAFE SP203 Design,  Installation, Commissioning & Maintenance of Fire Detection, Alarm & Suppression Systems.

Environmental Management Systems

Although currently a recommendation and not a requirement, the demand for ISO 14001 / EMS certification is rising significantly and suppliers are increasingly expected to have evidence of an environmental management system in place to satisfy client procurement requirements.

However, an EMS needs to reflect the scale of your business and the impact it has on its environment. In the Fire and Security Industry typical environmental factors might be: reducing packaging on job sites; disposal of batteries; optimising vehicle performance; contingency planning to avoid contamination from chemicals; as well as fairly generic factors common to most businesses, such as selecting products from amongst EMS certified suppliers.

SILconsulting is a natural partner in creating or tailoring environmental practices for the fire and security companies because of its extensive industry experience.

Documentation

All forms of documents, from electronic reports to handheld mobile devices to every kind of paper business form and technical instruction exist to show what we do in our business and how one activity relates to others. It is always the starting point from where external assessors begin to piece together how effectively your business complies to recognised standards. Our job therefore is to appraise your existing documents and realign where necessary. Often, this means shaking out what is no longer needed and replacing other documents with modern, easy to use procedures, diagrams or forms.

Internal Auditing

The role of internal auditing is to provide assurances that your internal controls are operating effectively identifying managing and controlling assurance efforts on areas of key risk to the company's performance. Risks such as a lack of competence in technical standard of workmanship; or a faulty component; or an unreliable supplier prejudicing a completion date. Our approach is to devise and carry out audit plans for your business processes that give you an on-going account of how you are controlling the key business risks in your area of operation. So, for example, the knowledge that job/contract files are consistently proved to be complete, gives some assurance that contracts have been setup and are being maintained to standard.

Training

SILconsulting is ready to deliver on-site training to you and the people in your organisation who manage and deliver your services. Because our training is given by people who know the industry inside out you get the most up-to-date information and learn the latest techniques and procedures. Training is usually carried out at your premises and in practical stages to specific groups of staff.
