ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems
Requirements & Certification
Hosted & Funded by Peel & Shaw Consulting
Tuesday 13 March 2012
Aston Customer Service Centre, Sheffield
09:30 – 11:30
This FREE workshop will help you understand how an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) can be used to drive both commercial and environmental performance improvement in your organisation. It has been designed specifically for senior managers in small and medium-sized businesses who:
a) Want to understand how ISO14001 can be implemented simply but effectively and how this can be used to create tangible business value, or
b) Want to maximise the value from their existing system in order to support new business development and performance goals.
ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard that sets out a framework for putting an effective EMS in place. It can be readily integrated into existing ISO systems, most notably ISO 9001.
A recent Government commissioned study of UK SMEs who have already introduced an EMS highlighted that whilst the majority had realised net cost savings- with payback as quick as 3 months- commercial and marketing benefits translating to new turnover were of equal if not greater benefit. BSI’s own survey data also found that over 80% of UK organizations with ISO 14001 believe that it had improved their reputation whist a similar number reported reduced risk through an increase in legislative compliance.
The workshop will outline the growing business case for ISO 14001 as an effective mechanism for driving business performance through environmental improvement. We will identify some of the common benefits, illustrating these through examples. In addition to this, we will also try to lower some commonly perceived barriers to adoption, before finally offering some tips on how to start implementing an effective system.

BS EN ISO 3834 Quality Requirements for Fusion Welding of Metallic Materials
ISO 3834 is an international standard created by welding professionals. It provides the quality requirements for a welded product. It specifies requirements relating only to the quality of the welded product and encourages a proactive process orientated approach to managing and controlling welding product quality in a workshop or on site. It also acts as a Factory Control System to control activities for the manufacture of the product
There are three levels of quality requirements specified in ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3 and ISO 3834-4. The standard applies to manufacturing, both in workshops and at field installation sites.
ISO 3834 provide the quality requirements for process control related to all welding processes (for each process separately or in combination as specified). It is suitable for manufacturers to use on their own or in conjunction with ISO 9001. The ISO 3834 series supersedes BS EN 729:1995 Parts 1-4.
Benefits
- More assurance of contract delivery dates;
- Greater assurance of the quality of welded products;
- Greater reliability and performance of plant;
- Reduction in maintenance costs;
- Reduction or elimination of third party inspection costs;
- Local and international recognition as a competent organisation
- Meet the welding-related requirements of ISO 9001

Why adopt BS EN ISO 3834 when we have ISO 9001?
- BS EN ISO 3834 is part of the requirement for CE Marking of fabricated structural steel to ISO 1090.
- ISO 9001 is a comprehensive standard that lays down quality management system requirements for any organisation;
- ISO 9001 however, does not prescribe specific details for “special processes”. Welding is regarded as a “special process”;
- ISO 3834 was developed to identify all factors that could affect the quality of welded product and which need to be controlled at all stages, before, during and after welding.
BS EN ISO 3834 can be used by internal and external organizations, including certification bodies, to assess the manufacturer’s ability to meet customer, regulatory or the manufacturer’s own requirements
Who is it relevant to:
- Any structural steel fabricator seeking CE Marking for their product;
- Any welding & fabrication company;
- Construction companies – on-site work;
- Repair and maintenance contractors;
- Manufacturers of products;
- Welding workshops on sites under the same technical and quality management;
- Owners of plant with their own workshop(s).

BS OHSAS 18001 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY ASSESMENT
FREE TO ALL NEW CUSTOMERS
Having problems with Health & Safety legislation? Swamped under a mountain of Health & Safety paperwork and filing? Do you find Health & Safety a headache?
Taking a responsible approach to Health and Safety management not only reduces the risk of accidents and injury, but can bring significant business benefits to an organisation. Despite this, many organisations still fail to manage their health and safety effectively.
Statistics published by the UK Health and Safety Executive reveal that during 2009-2010:
- 28.5 million days were lost overall (1.2 days per worker), 23.4 million due to work-related ill health;
- 152 workers were killed at work, a rate of 0.5 per 100,000 workers;
- 121,430 other injuries to employees were reported, some of which could have had the potential to be fatal injuries;
- 1.3 million People who worked during the last year were suffering from an illness they believed was caused or made worse by their current or past work.
In addition to the risk of breaches in legislation, prosecution, fines and lost productivity, organisations also face the risk of rising operating costs, insurance premiums and civil litigation.
An Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) promotes a safe and healthy working environment. It can help an organisation to manage the spectrum of staff related risks in the workplace, enabling greater control of insurance costs and increased performance from its existing operations.
