Author: Steve Williams on behalf of Alcontrol Laboratories
As a provider of environmental services, it is vitally important for ALcontrol to demonstrate that it operates an effective Environmental Management System (EMS). The company has therefore partnered with Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) over the last 7 years to develop an EMS that impacts upon every aspect of the business and delivers continuous environmental improvements.
ALcontrol provides testing and analytical services for soil, water, food, oil, asbestos and air to help clients demonstrate compliance with regulations and achieve their health, safety and environmental goals.
Over 2000 employees in 30 laboratories across 11 European countries support a global customer base providing millions of tests per year.
Why ISO 14001?
A key feature of the ALcontrol brand is the provision of laboratory results that give customers confidence to act. Certification to internationally accepted standards is therefore one of the ways in which this
confidence can be delivered, particularly when certification is provided by an independent reputable third party.
The process of achieving certification to ISO 14001 across all of its sites was also designed to meet stakeholder needs; to help comply with regulations; to improve environmental management; to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
