Health, Safety and Environment
BB Group understands that strong management systems are tools that help us
drive performance excellence. We also know that strong systems require
an educated team to implement, continually measure, and refine them to
be most effective; which is why in March 2007, BB GROUP pursued and was
granted the International Organization for Standardization ISO 9001:2008
certification for internationally recognized management system
standards. ISO 9001:2008 is a reliable, tested, and internationally
respected method to measure quality management systems.
It validates that BB GROUP’s systems are reliable and effective; and
that those implementing them understand their components and importance,
utilize them to their capacity, and focus on continuous improvement.
Under the certification process, BB GROUP’s Quality Management System
manual, quality policy, quality objectives/benchmarks, and management
review and continuous improvement processes were rigorously tested and
deemed of high quality in multiple office and project site audits
conducted around the globe. Annual audits hereafter ensure the integrity
of the certification in the future.
Our clients benefit from a company with certified, strong management
systems where every employee is engaged and well-versed in how to
effectively use them to our customer’s advantage. ISO 9001:2008
certification is one way we ensure that BB Group excels in providing the
highest level of consistent performance excellence to our clients.
BB GROUP’s “Life-Preserving Principles” help demonstrate the commitment
of our Safety for Life program. Having ISO 14001-2004 Environmental
Management and OHSAS 18000-2007 Occupational Health and Safety Systems,
we firmly believe these principles will enable BB GROUP to achieve its
goal of zero employee injuries and no property damage, as well as foster
an environmentally friendly and sustainable workplace.
