Subscan completes the set of ISO Management Systems

Most surveyors talk about their commitment to quality, safety and the environment, but one innovative company has received official recognition that it puts those aspirations into practice. Subscan Technology of Rugby has become the first leading utility survey specialist (as defined by membership of The Survey Association) to achieve all three ISO management systems, namely, ·         ISO 9001 (Quality Management) ·         ISO 18001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management) ·         ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) Subscan has had ISO 9001 in place since 1997 but has now integrated its management systems to include both environmental and health and safety standards as well. Managing director, John Robinson says, “It is of paramount importance to us that we keep people safe and minimise our impact on the environment.  By achieving ISO 18001 & ISO 14001, we have demonstrated the robustness of all of our procedures and that our staff understand and adhere to our systems. Our clients can see that we are a progressive company which understands its responsibilities and is committed to continuous improvement.” ISO audits to obtain these accreditations are extremely tough. Each Subscan system has been independently checked and passed by external auditors.                                                                                                                        

Clients are keen to reduce risk and are increasingly checking the status of their subcontractors against external accreditations, such as ISO standards. Subscan is also a member of or certified by: ·         Achilles Verify ·         Construction Line ·         CHAS ·         CHSG ·         Link-up ·         CCNSG ·         EuroGPR ·         Warwickshire County Council Green Achievement Award ·         The Survey Association ·         RICS (individual employee membership) ·         The Institute of Risk Management (individual employee membership) John Robinson says, “In a competitive market, companies grow by providing the best possible service to their clients. Our integrated management systems illustrate our commitment to promote best practice together with environmental and ethical awareness in everything we do. It is one of the many reasons why we have a steadily increasing client list.”
