How We Can Help

AvISO can help you implement a range of standards to improve your organisation’s management system and support you with your requirements. We understand the importance of having a secure environment, and we have worked with many organisations in this sector to help implement different standards.

Why are ISO Standards Important in the Construction Industry 

The construction industry is heavily regulated by governments and other organisations that want to keep the public safe, there are so many different types of regulations, and construction companies need to be able to keep track of all their requirements and meet them consistently. They also need systems to identify potential problems before they become serious issues that might cost lives or money.

ISO Standards enhance the credibility of academic institutions and are globally recognised in 163 countries; some ISO standards they can benefit from are:

• ISO 9001 (QMS) is a standard that establishes the requirements for a quality management system. It helps construction companies maintain high standards through a carefully designed process for managing all aspects of their operations
• ISO 14001 (EMS) is a standard that outlines requirements for an environmental management system. It is a collection of policies, procedures, and processes that help a company minimise its negative environmental impact.
• ISO 45001 is to help companies identify and eliminate hazards in their workplaces. The standard encourages employers to create a culture of safety and responsibility by providing guidance on how to plan, manage, monitor, and review occupational health and safety management systems.
• ISO 27001 (ISMS) demonstrates the organisation is taking precautions to protect the data processed from unlawful access, corruption, and theft. It shows a commitment to protecting its information and that of staff, students, and partners. Stakeholders can be confident that an internationally recognised framework validates all information captured and stored.
• Legal register support ensures that they are operating within the law, which protects them and their employees. Without legal compliance, a company could be subject to fines or even criminal charges. It also helps ensure that all employees are working in safe conditions and are not exposed to dangerous materials or situations.

Contractors need to adhere to these standards because they ensure that all aspects of their business are operating efficiently. For example, if a contractor has established policies for their employees' health and safety, then they will be able to avoid injuries on the job site.

What Challenges does the Construction Industry Face, and What are the Solutions?

The construction industry faces many challenges, one of which is being able to adhere to ISO standards.

ISO standards are a set of consistent regulations and guidelines that help companies in the construction industry achieve better results. AvISO Consultancy can help you meet these standards by providing you with the necessary tools and resources.

Every industry has its unique challenges, and the construction industry is no exception. The most common health and safety issues that arise in the construction industry are:

1. Lack of awareness of hazards and risks related to manual handling,

2. Poor management of risk assessments, and

3. Failure to comply with relevant legislation.

To address these issues, AVISO Consultancy can help you gain a clear understanding of how ISO standards can help you achieve your goal of improving health and safety and quality within your organisation.

ISO standards provide a framework for implementing best practices across an organisation. Experts have developed them in the field and have identified best practices through extensive research and consultation with stakeholders over many years. The standards are internationally recognised as an essential tool for improving workplace health and safety across industries around the world by providing guidance that can be applied anywhere in any country without having to worry about language barriers or cultural differences between countries, which may affect how people interpret their duties under the law when making decisions regarding health & safety matters at work (e.g., employees may not understand what constitutes unsafe behaviour or what steps need taking if they do).
