Augean operates on the premise that best practice is normal practice striving to ensure that regulatory standards are met and where possible exceeded.

Our accredited Integrated Management System (IMS) which satisfies the requirements of ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System Standard), ISO 9001 (Quality Management System Standard) and OHSAS 18001 (Health, Safety and Welfare Management System Standard) is audited by The British Standards Institution (BSI). 

Health and Safety
Augean continues to commission external experts to audit and validate the Health and Safety management of the business.  We have adopted a policy of using different organisations to benefit from the range of expertise and the differing perspectives that each organisation brings.

We were audited by the Utilities Vendor Database (UVDB) section of Achilles, an independent body that identifies, evaluates and monitors supplier information on behalf of major organisations worldwide. Below are our 2011 percentage statistics compared with the average percentage scores for all suppliers involved in the scheme:

Environment
Our certification to ISO 14001 demonstrates Augean’s commitment for achieving legal and regulatory compliance to regulators and government.  All of our sites are the subject of Environmental Permits regulated by the Environment Agency or Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

Quality

To ensure we sustain this standard all facets of the business including sales, customer services and customer-facing operational departments operate to ISO 9001. The group continues to successfully achieve high standards of performance as assessed during all maintenance assessment visits conducted by BSI.
