Health
& Safety & Welfare Policy : 18001
We are delighted to announce that at our first attempt,
we have attained the OHSAS 18001:1999 specification
relating to Health & Safety. This was awarded
to us in April this year by Moody International who
the only UK Certification body to hold RvA accreditation.
Angela Hayden, HSQ Manager for Stehlin Hostag said
“This is not an easy specification to achieve
and could not be done without the support from everyone
at Stehlin and particular support from David Ward
in allowing me the resources and free hand in order
to achieve our goal. Special thanks go to the auditors,
Paul Hayden, Andy Pike, Molly Bowes, Sue Fowkes and
Ian Richardson. We are now all fully qualified auditors
in all 3 standards and I have now completed all 3
IRCA (International Register for Certified Auditors)
courses (9000, 18000 and 14001) and can qualify for
my IRCA licence of which only 22,000 people in the
world currently have.
Stehlin Hostag worked towards achieving the specification
for many reasons. From an internal perspective, it
was important to confirm our commitment to the continual
improvement of our systems and the Health, Safety
and Welfare of our employees. This is direct reassurance
to all the Stehlin team that we are a company committed
to our employees’ wellbeing. From a customer
perspective, it raises awareness of these ‘internal
commitments’ and also reassures them of our
ongoing efforts as a business to reduce costs and
meet our legislative obligations in connection with
the products and services we promote.

New
Branch Opening
Stehlin Hostag Ink UK Limited has continued to forge
ahead with their expansion plans with a new branch in
Rochdale planned to open before the end of this year.
With branches currently in Nottingham, Leeds, Guildford
and Bristol, Rochdale has been selected as it has an
excellent road network enabling an even further enhanced
service to existing customers within the North West
region. This is an area that has seen significant sales
growth in recent years and accounts for 25% of our annual
sales. Opening a branch will equip the area with on
site colour mixing and matching facilities and will
provide high stock levels to service the ongoing, growing
needs of printers in the region. Our experienced field
based teams will also benefit from having an internal
sales and service support team close at hand. This new
branch will finalise our UK network and allows us to
offer the ultimate service and back up for all our customers
throughout the UK. At present the branch is planned
to open before October with special promotions planned
to mark the opening. |
