Capital Compactors and Balers, part of the Impact Environmental Group (IEG), has secured a leading Gold Certificate in recognition of its outstanding commitment and effort over the past three years to introduce and promote an active health, safety and welfare culture amongst employees.
To obtain the first-class certification, the highest accolade available, Capital underwent a rigorous factory survey conducted by its retained Health and Safety Consultants, Peninsula. The meticulous safety report covered over 100 checks throughout the business, all of which were passed by Capital free of any advisories.
The commendation comes just two years after Capital first gained the ISO 45001 certification, awarded for its introduction of a robust Health & Safety Management System.
Securing the gold certificate has been an ongoing team effort, driven by the collective commitment of Capital’s management team. Over the last three years, the team has worked collaboratively to develop revised risk assessments, method statements, and safe systems of work. They have conducted regular safety checks, enhanced safety signage, and provided comprehensive employee training, all contributing to this significant achievement.
Capital’s Quality Health Safety and Environment Manager, Paul Alton, comments: “The health, safety and welfare of both of our employees and our customers here at Capital Compactors and Balers is of utmost importance. The bar has been set high achieving this Gold certificate but, with the continued commitment of everyone within the company, I am confident that we will be able to maintain this exceptionally high level of safety across our extensive factory premises and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.”
