The highest standards from a responsible approach

We are committed to continual improvement in all aspects of our work, including the health, safety and welfare of our teams and others around us and the protection of the environment.

Essential business accreditations

In 2023, we achieved ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications as testament to our commitment to quality, environmental management and health and safety at work respectively.

In 2019, we achieved ‘Green Flag Status’ from Avetta, a leader in supply chain risk management with regards to Health and Safety, Quality Control and Employee Qualification and Management.

Health and safety

We endeavour to maintain a culture where health and safety is seen as an equal to all other operational objectives. You can see our Health and Safety Policy here.

Our QHSE team is headed by our Managing Director who holds a NEBOSH National General Certificate awarded in 2020. He is supported by our Compliance & Audit Manager, who holds Lead Auditor qualifications for all three standards held by us, and our Projects QHSE Lead who has years of experience in the field.

The QHSE team oversees all operations to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and that we surpass the minimum QHSE expectations of our clients.

Environmental protection

The nature of our marine work makes it incumbent on us to set the highest standards for protecting the environment in all aspects of our business.

Beyond the core environmental standards we have achieved, such as ISO 14001, our culture of continual improvement helps us reduce our impact on the environment. Our full Environmental Policy is published here.

Laboratory and data quality

In addition to our business standards, we are fully committed to maintaining excellent quality standards in all our laboratory practices. Our data also complies with both nationally and internationally recognised standards. You can read more about the levels of quality we operate to here.

Wellbeing

We take a proactive approach to the wellbeing of all our staff and follow professional guidelines for managing psychosocial risks, treating them as equal to a physical health or safety risk.

In line with this, we run mental health awareness workshops and have set up a Wellness Hub which is available to all staff. It contains resources relating to mental wellbeing, signposting to support and a platform for sharing wellbeing ideas.
