Drum Cussac Awarded Accreditation for Implementing International Management Standards

LONDON, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Drum Cussac, the international business risk consultancy, has been recognised for its focus and success in establishing international environmental and occupational health and safety management standards within the company's operations.

The recognition has come in the form of OHSAS (Occupational Health & Safety Standards) 18001 and ISO 14001 accreditations. OHSAS 18001 is a Health and Safety management system that represents best practices for health and safety in the workplace. ISO 14001 is an international environmental standard for creating policies, plans and actions that help identify related problems before they happen. The two are strongly related and compatible in order to facilitate the integration of the two disciplines into a cohesive and comprehensive management system.

Jeremy Stampa Orwin, Drum Cussac Managing Director, said: "We are proud to achieve these accreditations, which are a reflection of our company's overall commitment to ensuring a high level of quality and integrity throughout our business. The accreditation process gives us a structured, standardised and internationally recognised methodology for continually analysing and improving our operations through best management practices."

The accreditations come on the heels of Drum Cussac being recognised with ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System accreditation last year.
