Health, Safety, Environment & Quality

Quality Management Systems
09 October 2009
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised quality management system (QMS) and is a great way to sharpen the operation of your print business. Whatever the size of your company, it will bring many advantages and operational benefits – helping to make your business a recognised quality company, give an edge on ones competitors and ensure it is a leader in your market place.
Health & Safety Healthcheck
09 October 2009
The aim of the BPIF Health & Safety Healthcheck Report is to tell you how you compare with current UK health and safety legislation and how you compare with good practice within the industry.
Noise Surveys
17 August 2009
Do you know what the noise exposure in your factory is? You will need to find out both the noise level and exposure in order to assess the risk to your staff – short levels of high noise may be acceptable, but long periods of medium noise may not. If you’ve installed new machinery recently, the law requires a review of noise assessments whenever there is a change to a process or new equipment is introduced which may alter the noise levels.
Carbon Management
17 August 2009
The need for printers and packagers to demonstrate effective carbon management is growing - buyers are reviewing their supply chains to help them reduce their carbon footprint, and tenders are increasingly awarded to ‘lower carbon’ suppliers. Printers who can measure and manage their carbon footprint will gain competitive advantage, enhance their brand and lower their environmental impact, leading to a stronger, more profitable business.
Health & Safety Briefing for Managers and Supervisors
10 October 2008
Although Health & Safety is the responsibility of everyone in a company, all too often it is left to the Health and Safety Officer with only minimal assistance and back up from the Management chain. This is largely because employees at all levels have not been informed of the duties placed on them by current and future Health and Safety Legislation. With the introduction of the Draft Bill for Corporate Manslaughter it is now more important than ever for everyone to play their part and for a company to show that it has discharged its duties throughout the management chain.
Environment Briefing for Managers and Supervisors
10 October 2008
The need for all printers - large, medium or small - to demonstrate effective environmental management is growing. Apart from failure to comply with legislation potentially resulting in costly enforcement action, the increasing demand from print purchasers for suppliers to show their commitment to good environmental practices means that no printer can risk ignoring their environmental responsibilities.
