About Alpha Swanson

Quality: ISO9001

Quality is all about a happy customer; if you have a satisfied client, then you have supplied them with a quality product.

ISO9001 is the international quality standard based on British Standard BS5750. This was heavily influenced by the American and NATO standards of the 1950s and 1960s.

Since its release as an International Standard in 1987, ISO9001 has been extensively revised and improved. It now has, at its heart, the concept that quality is customer driven. The latest edition, issued in 2015, requires businesses to focus on the risks and opportunities they face, as well as having a comprehensive understanding of how they function and interact with the world. Gone is the requirement to have countless written procedures and associated bureaucracy, although many businesses often find that the best way to control their processes is to have procedures.

Having ISO9001 certification is fast becoming a ‘must have’ for modern businesses who want to win new work and retain existing contracts. However, a properly constructed and implemented system can bring so much more value, in terms of understanding how the business functions, the risks it faces and ensuring processes are optimised.

Alpha Swanson always advocates UKAS accredited ISO9001 certifications as this is the only way that you are guaranteed to have your certification recognised globally.

At Alpha Swanson, we are advocates of an integrated approach to management systems, but only if this approach works for you. We can work with you to combine your new and/or existing systems to produce a fully Integrated Management System (IMS).

Following successful certification, we have options available to provide you with the support to maintain your system and certification. This leaves you free to concentrate on reaping the rewards of your investment in a UKAS accredited ISO9001 certification.

The best way to find out how we can add value to your business is to get in touch. We’ll talk you through our process and meet with you for an initial consultation. Get the recognition you deserve; contact us to learn more.

Environmental Management: ISO14001

Understanding how your business affects the environment and identifying ways to reduce this, has never been more important than it is now. Implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) will help you do that, as well as to comply with applicable legislation.

Alpha Swanson has extensive experience in helping organisations implement and improve Environmental Management Systems. We don’t provide off-the-shelf generic systems which can often result in the introduction of unnecessary red tape. We will work with you to understand your business and implement a bespoke system that reflects what you actually do.

Having a comprehensive EMS will enable you to achieve the international Environmental Management standard, ISO14001, which is fast becoming a ‘must have’ certification for successful businesses. As well as providing an all-important competitive advantage, it can also help you reduce costs. This is because improvements in environmental performance are often achieved by corresponding reductions in the use of energy, fuels, chemicals, etc.

At Alpha Swanson, we are advocates of an integrated approach to management systems, as long as this approach works for you. We can work with you to combine your new and/or existing systems, to produce a fully Integrated Management System (IMS). An IMS brings all your procedures, policies and documentation into one place, enabling you to access information and data more efficiently.

Following successful certification, we have several options available to provide you with the support to maintain your system and certification. This leaves you free to concentrate on reaping the rewards of your investment in a UKAS accredited ISO14001 certification.

The best way to find out how we can add value to your business is to get in touch. Contact our friendly team to book your initial consultation where we’ll discuss your individual business requirements and create a bespoke proposal based on your needs.

Health & Safety: ISO45001

Modern health and safety legislation exists for one purpose alone: to ensure that when someone leaves work they return to their family and friends unharmed. This simple purpose is not only crucially important on an individual basis but constitutes a moral obligation and good business sense.

A key component of effective health and safety is a pragmatic Safety Management System (SMS), which clearly details how your health and safety arrangements work, without hindering you with unnecessary red tape.

Alpha Swanson understands that health and safety must support a business, not hinder it. We have significant experience in assisting clients to develop, implement and maintain their SMS. You can rest assured that common sense and pragmatism are at the heart of our solutions, and the finished system is designed to be as user-friendly as possible.

Another benefit of having a robust SMS is that it provides the necessary framework to assist you to achieve certification to ISO45001. This was published early in 2018 and replaces the internationally applied British Standard, OHSAS18001.

Companies who have OHSAS18001 certification need to convert to ISO45001 prior to early 2021 but why wait? Alpha Swanson can assist you now and you can become one of the pioneering organisations to hold this exciting new standard.

If you are not ready for ISO45001, there are several alternative schemes that you can achieve accreditation or certification to, including CHAS, SMAS and Safe Contractor. Alpha Swanson has extensive experience of assisting clients to achieve and maintain these. We can advise you which of these schemes best suits the arena in which you operate.

Alpha Swanson is a registered consultant on the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register. This means we are fully competent to provide advice on all aspects of health and safety. We often provide this to certification clients by way of an added value service, meaning you benefit from a consistent approach to health and safety.
