JCA has been awarded certification to the occupational health and safety management system, BS OHSAS 18001, in recognition of the company’s efforts to address changing legislation and protect its workforce from potential risks.

JCA aims to provide the highest levels of health and safety in the workplace, with considerable management focus on ensuring the well-being of all of its employees; this is in line with JCA’s strong people-focused culture and philosophy.

Gareth Smith, group HSQE manager explains, “We implemented BS OHSAS 18001 as we wanted to reinforce our commitment to our health and safety management system and further promote the requirement for a safe and healthy working environment for all parties affected by JCA’s work. BS OHSAS 18001 provides a framework that can be applied alongside existing HSE guidance, allowing our business to consistently identify and control health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall safety”.

This latest achievement adds to JCA’s previous accreditations, ISO 9001 for quality management systems and ISO 14001 for environmental management systems and ensures all three key management systems are assessed to internationally recognised, externally audited standards.
