A UK manufacturer of mission-critical filtration equipment for industrial processes worldwide has passed a rigorous health and safety audit.
Inspectors from national standards body BSI recertified Amazon Filters for its management system praising what they describe as a ‘very positive health and safety culture’.
Formally recertifying the firm as compliant with the ISO 45001 health and safety standard, BSI made particular reference to the effectiveness of recent training initiatives for team members.
Under the ISO 45001 inspection regime, workplaces receive overall re-certification audits every three years along with six-monthly ‘surveillance visits’ on specific requirements.
The in-person assessment for Amazon Filters took place at its production centre in Camberley, Surrey.
Rebecca Andrews, health and safety and facilities manager, said: “This was a highly successful re-certification involving lots of management system analysis which found no ‘non-conformances’ in ISO requirements.
“It is fantastic to have such external, independent recognition of how well we run our health and safety processes and the fact we operate a safe working environment.
“Our successful journey of improvement is only possible through continual engagement with employees, having the best resources and support from top management and by monitoring the effectiveness of initiatives we put in place.
“Conforming to ISO standards is ingrained behaviour, not something we do at the last minute just because we have an inspection.”
Amazon Filters’ health and safety audit followed a separate BSI recertification for the environmental protection standard, ISO 14001, successfully achieved in April 2024.
Other standards held by Amazon Filters include ISO 9001 for quality management and assurance.
In the municipal water industry, the firm’s SupaSpun II filters comply with Regulation 31 of The Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2016.
