Certification for Woodfab Timber

AN Aughrim company is celebrating after achieving certification to key international business standards in Quality Management Systems, Environmental Management Systems and Occupational Health and Safety Management.

Woodfab Timber Limited now joins an elite group of over 3,000 organisations who are currently National Standards Authority of Ireland-certified in a variety of areas. All of the organisations who achieved certification were independently audited by NSAI inspectors in order to ensure they complied with the standards.

Representatives of the company were among 24 organisations honoured at a special ceremony at the NSAI offices in Dublin on Tuesday, May 23.

Speaking at the event, John Colclough, Sales Manager at Woodfab Timber said achieving certification to these standards will help give the firm a competitive edge.

‘It was a very worthwhile project. The long-term business success of Woodfab Timber Ltd. depends on our ability to continually improve the quality of our products while protecting people and the environment,’ said Mr Colclough.

‘ This commitment is in the best interest of our customers, our employees and the communities in which we live and work. The savings and opportunities identified during the certification process will allow Woodfab to set performance objectives, measure results, assess and continually improve.’
