The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult has been awarded three internationally recognized standards in quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management.
Following the assessment by DNV-GL, the technology innovation and research centre received three accreditations: ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, and OHSAS 18001.
ISO9001 and ISO 14001 is a family of standards relating to quality management and environmental management systems, designed to help organisations ensure that they meet the needs of customers, shareholders, and employees.
The OHSAS 18001 – Requirement for an Occupational Health & Safety Management System accreditation demonstrates ORE Catapult’s commitment to promoting a safe and healthy working environment for all its employees, customers and stakeholders, ORE Catapult’s press release reads.
Chris Hill , Innovation Engineering and Programmes Director for ORE Catapult said: “The National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth already held these accreditations, but following its merger with ORE Catapult in March 2014, work began in earnest to ensure that the standards were applied across the whole business.
“As any company that has been through the process knows, achieving these standards is very demanding and attaining this certification speaks volumes of our commitment to continually improving our internal processes and procedures.”
ORE Catapult is the UK’s technology innovation and research centre for offshore wind, wave and tidal energy.
