“Dealing with RKMS has been excellent from day one. They have worked quickly to understand our business and integrated themselves into all of our operations.

During each audit the Certification Body has commented about the robustness and useability of the system developed by RKMS. This has been echoed by our staff who have fully bought into the system and the benefits it generates.

We have also started our PAS 2060 journey with RKMS which is progressing well. RKMS carry out all internal audits at our depots and client sites. They provide clear and concise audit reports to the management team at WH Scott and assist in manging the close out of any OFI/NCR’s raised.

I would have no hesitation in recommending RKMS for HSQE consultancy and audit activities. As a result of their excellent work WH Scott has extended their contract with RKMS beyond the original agreed term.”

Consultancy Project

RKMS provides a full HSQE support service, overseeing customer and supplier audits from the likes of Babcock, Constructionline, Acclaim and Safe Contractor, as well as a host of international standards such as ISO 9001, quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 45001 OH&S management and EN 1090 structural steel fabrication.

This service means we are effectively embedded as their HSQE department, offering WH Scott & Son Engineers support from a team of highly qualified and experienced professionals.

RKMS provides ongoing support including undertaking all internal audits, chairing the monthly HSQE committee meetings, hosting external audits by customers and certification bodies, undertaking accident and incident investigation, addressing non-conformances and identifying continual improvement initiatives, which in turn enables the organisation to grow and improve services.

Outcomes

WH Scott & Son Engineers has been successful in gaining certification to all standards at the first attempt. This has in turn opened more opportunities for the business to tender for and secure larger contracts in both the private and public sector.

The company is now in the process of working to achieve PAS 2060 Carbon Neutrality.
