Gardner Aerospace commits to health and safety best practice worldwide
Employee welfare is pivotal to Gardner Aerospace’s success and introducing ISO 14001/OHSAS 18001, both globally recognised systematic approaches to maintaining health and safety, across all sites is a natural progression following the Group’s successful expansion abroad.
Dave Carnichan (above), Director of Business Excellence, says: “Gardner is committed to excellence in all activities and best practice health and safety underpin everything we do. Hull is the latest site to secure accreditation in a superb result for our team, and we look forward to group-wide accreditation by the end of 2015.”
Anton McKentie, Special Process Manager, said: “It is absolutely essential to implement the ISO 14001/OHSAS 18001 standards across our global operations to ensure all our facilities are carrying out best practices for a safe working environment. Our employees play an active role during the accreditation audits so the process is very much all of us working together to create excellent working conditions.”
