Haigh Rail are delighted to announce the migration of our safety accreditation to the new 45001 standard and have further merged this with our Quality (9001:2015) and Environmental (14001:2015), to create an integrated management system solution in order to maximise business benefits.

Through alignment of this new standard and our OH&S management system with other ISO management systems we have in place, Haigh Rail has streamlined its processes in order to increase efficiency and save time and money.  This new standard will help to deliver the following benefits:

• Increasing our organisational resilience through proactive risk prevention, innovation and continual improvement
• Strengthening of legal and regulatory compliance
• Greater brand responsibility by committing to safe, healthy and sustainable work
• A single occupational health and safety system for our businesses, supporting all our divisions in the management/delivery of track, welding and civils & labour contracts

This would not have been achieved without the hard work many, but in particular our HSE and Compliance Team of HSEQ Manager, Duncan Murray and Compliance Advisor, Steve Simpson, from Simpson Consulting.

Speaking on the news, MD Chris Haigh, said:

“Health, Safety and Compliance are central to our business. Transitioning to the new ISO 45001 standard is a testament to our dedication to the safety and wellbeing of our staff and any other interested parties.”

Haigh Rail’s Civils and Labour Division – Haigh Resourcing – is progressing well with a significant fencing scheme covering 42km in the Midlands for a large Tier One organisation.

Director Keiran Clarke and his Senior team of Senior PM Grant Gleave and Contracts Manager Ed Anderson, have all been involved in planning and managing the works to date. The continuity of also being involved from the tender stage, has provided the senior team with full insight of the project, enabling swift mobilisation and facilitation of the contract, which has enhanced the overall progress and the quality of the works to date.

Haigh Rail is responsible for all site engineering for setting out the fencing line, the provision of site management, site supervision and providing skilled and competent fencing teams.

Managing Director Chris Haigh added:

“Great progress to date from the team, the quality of the works is of the highest order. This is testament to the approach we take across the lifecycle of any project and the meticulous planning and preparation that goes into every scheme we deliver.”
