BlueMAC Achieves ISO Quality Management Accreditations

Specialist bespoke recycling plant manufacturer, BlueMAC, has achieved two stringent ISO quality and environmental management accreditations – ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004.

A further additional recognition of the excellence of the company’s production procedures comes with OHSAS 18001 certification, which is awarded in recognition of BlueMAC’s clearly defined management system to identify and control health and safety risks.

ISO 9001:2008 is a standard based on a number of quality management principles which include a strong customer focus, the motivation and involvement of management, the process approach and continual improvement thereof. Using ISO 9001:2008 helps to ensure that customers get consistent, high quality products and services which, in turn, brings many business benefits.
ISO 14001:2004 provides practical tools for companies and organisations looking to identify and control environmental impact and constantly improve environmental performance; it also sets out the criteria for an environmental management system. ISO 14001:2004 provides assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.

OHSAS 18001 provides specifications for a clearly defined management system to identify and control health and safety risks. Organisations are able to minimise risks to their workforce, visitors and external contractors on their premises. The standard enables companies to put processes in place to continually review, improve and implement occupational health and safety.

Commenting on the company’s accreditations, Director Pat McGeary said “Quality management system certifications to these standards are highly coveted and, we believe, somewhat rare in our industry. BlueMAC is justly proud to have achieved these accreditations which clearly reflect our way of working and the emphasis we have always placed on quality, health and safety and, of course, environmental sensitivity.”
