Quality Policy and Accreditations ............................................................................................................................... Greenwoods achieved third party accreditation to BS EN ISO 9002 in July 1995 and we have actively striven for continuous ongoing improvements since this time. The company's senior management team continuously monitors our documented system, in-line with best working practices and is always looking to improve our internal systems and procedures to provide greater benefits for our customers. As a result of these ongoing improvements, we were rewarded with upgraded accreditation to BS EN ISO 9001-2000 in October 2002 and to ISO9001-2008 in June 2009. Quality is deemed of the highest importance when working on-site. All engineers and field based personnel go through an initial two week training course, where they learn the fundamental quality considerations and specific skills. Site work is carefully inspected by team leaders on project completion and strict checklists are followed. For example: checks are carried out on cabling, label identification, power, site clearance, sharp edge elimination, cut floor tiles are edged and thorough inspections are carried out to ensure no damage has been caused. Following this, a report will be handed over to the customer for final sign-off. Also where required, a quality certified engineer will attend site to conduct risk assessment, provide supervision and final quality site analysis. Health & Safety Policy and Accreditations ............................................................................................................................... Health and safety is important to all. Greenwoods ensures that all employees are trained in, and aware of, all relevant health and safety systems and work procedures, including CDM regulations. For companies that regularly work in field based and often hazardous environments, health and safety is of paramount concern. Greenwoods Communications takes every necessary step to ensure our employees, contractors and customers are not put at risk. Our internal health and safety team ensures all site based engineers and installation technicians are trained in the latest health and safety practices. Our internal team is NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) and a member of RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). Engineers and technicians who are required to work in specialist areas receive additional training to ensure they work within the strictest health and safety guidelines.
