Given the competitive nature of our industry, it is definitely a matter of immense pride to be recognised by various industry bodies – ones that either regulate us or others that are a privilege to be a part of. In this article, we look at some of the industry bodies that we consider ourselves fortunate to be associated with in one way or the other.
ISO 9001 Accreditation
In a competitive as well as dynamic industry such as the cleaning one, maintaining very high quality standards without exception is of course a rather challenging ordeal. At North Kent Cleaning Services, we were up to the challenge right since inception and along the way, have been very proud of the fact that we continue to be ISO 9001 certified, one of the very few cleaning companies in Kent to be certified such.
ISO 14001 Accreditation
If ISO 9001 accreditation has been the icing on our cake, ISO 14001 accreditation has certainly been the cherry on the top!! Being ISO 14001 accredited affirms our commitment to environmental regulations, ensuring that we operate in a manner which is fully compliant with environmental safety and security.
Towards this end, we have taken a series of measures including:
- Making recycling a very high priority (without compromising our cleaning efforts of course!)
- Using environmentally safe cleaning equipment
- Ensuring that every staff member is aware of environmental dynamics and functions accordingly
- Even going to the extent of using vehicles that adhere to emission norms
Achilles registered
Achilles is a UK-based global industry network that aims to make it simple for buyers and suppliers to procure professional services amongst themselves. Now, being registered with Achilles gives us the kind of credibility that businesses like ours so eagerly seek.
Underlying factors here are reliability and quality; when clients seek out North Kent Cleaning Services for their cleaning needs, they are assured of a cleaning services supplier that is reliable and offers superior quality output without exception.
Moreover, sourcing becomes a whole lot simpler once Achilles registration is successfully completed; already we have a number of clients that found us with ease since we were already registered with Achilles.
COSHH trained staff
COSHH which stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health refers to multiple guidelines that stipulate employers to ensure employees remain protected from work related hazards. In our industry, instances could include cleaning material that is hazardous to the health of personnel; work conditions that are outright dangerous such cleaning windows of high-rise buildings, and so on.
In every instance, at North Kent Cleaning Services, we have taken a slew of measures to ensure that we abide by all COSHH related regulations and/or requirements without exception.
In-house NEBOSH trained officer
Related to COSHH is NEBOSH that stands for National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health that delves with a number of aspects related to occupational safety, health, and environment. In this particular instance, having an in-house NEBOSH qualified officer implies that all our staff and clients are reassured of a safe and healthy working environment.
