The national truck tyre specialist has bolstered its safety and quality credentials following ISOs 9001, 45001 and 14001 recertification. These cover health and safety, quality in customer satisfaction and environmental management.
Tructyre Strengthens Safety and Quality Standards with ISO Recertification
Tructyre was awarded ISO 45001 for demonstrating that the health and safety framework they created was being adhered to by all operational employees. They also acted to minimise the risk of work-related injuries and poor mental health. Therefore, establishing that they provide a safe and healthy workplace.
The audit assessed how Tructyre technicians prepared for and undertook their duties and the vans and equipment used. The process verified adherence to the legal health and safety requirements at work.
Tructyre has said that they adopt a ‘No compromise on Safety’ approach, believing that no task is so essential that it cannot be completed safely and by their safety systems.
Having identified significant hazards and assessed risk, Tructyre developed and implemented a set of six non-negotiable ‘Lifesaving Rules’ that all operational staff must follow. These rules require following the correct processes and procedures to do the job safely. This includes, for instance, inflating tyres or raising vehicles correctly.
Fostering a Culture of Safety
Antonia Lamb, Head of H&S at Tructyre, said, “Tructyre aims to foster a culture of safety, and the ultimate objective is to create an industry sector-leading work environment that minimises accidents.
“We are committed to fostering a work philosophy based on safety that appreciates customer care and works towards minimising our carbon footprint. Following the audit, zero non-conformances were raised, which is a great result.”
The company reports that it has invested heavily in creating a framework for its standards in health and safety, customer care, and the environment. Their strategy, known as ‘Driving our Future,’ includes always offering customers the highest quality products and services and keeping employees safe. The ISO 9001 quality management standard means Tructyre demonstrated that its employees fully understood and implemented its processes to achieve customer satisfaction.
Within this same strategy, a workstream dedicated to ‘Our Planet’, which works in tandem with Tructyre’s environmental management system and is developed per ISO 14001, ensures the company works effectively for the environment. Tructyre eliminates, reduces, reuses, and recycles all materials to minimise waste. They use environmentally responsible suppliers and subcontractors to minimise polluting releases and optimise energy.
Mark Hughes, Quality Manager at Tructyre, added, “Credit to the health and safety and quality procedures implemented in the business, and the expertise and dedication of our people. The ISO recognition confirms our commitment to delivering safe, quality services that our customers value and follow the correct environmental management systems.”
