ISO 9001_2015 Quality Management System (QMS)

Service

ISO 9001 Quality Management System

The ISO 9001:2015 standard is the world’s most widely recognized quality management system (QMS) standard. With more than 1 million companies certified in over 170 countries, ISO 9001 defines requirements for companies who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer requirements and continually improve their business processes

ISO 9001:2015 is the current version of the standard that can be applied to any size company in any industry. Companies that implement the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and achieve certification commonly find benefits such as:
Increased business efficiency
Higher levels of customer satisfaction
Lower unnecessary costs
More reliable quality of processes and products
Open new markets
The other key benefit of the ISO 9001 certification is qualification as a supplier for many customer contracts and other business opportunities. ISO 9001 is widely used as a supply-chain requirement and the number of industries that recognize the value of ISO 9001 as a purchasing criterion continues to grow. The ISO 9001 standard was just revised in September, 2015, by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Companies have until September 2018 to be certified to the most recent version of the ISO 9001:2015 Standard.

    Quantitative HSE Risk Assessment (QRA)

    Service

    Quantitative HSE Risk Assessment (QRA)

    Risk-based decision making is the foundation of almost all public health and environmental protection programs globally. Eco & Partner helps client develop sustainable, cost-effective risk management strategies to mitigate future liabilities through a robust understanding of human and ecological risks associated with hazardous substances.

    The potential for adverse human and Environmental impacts due to exposure to hazardous substances (chemical, biological, or radiological) and the evaluation of these potential impacts and risks, whether qualitative or quantitative, can present significant challenges to organizations. Understanding the risk is important for rational and cost-effective decision-making. QRA has been proven as a valuable management tool in assessing the overall safety performance of any facility manufacturing, storing or handling hazardous materials. The potential for toxic and/or flammable materials to be accidently released into atmosphere exists at many industrial facilities. Loss of containment (LOC) events can occur very suddenly and unexpectedly, putting employees and offsite population at a risk of injury or death, and the surrounding environment at risk of significant damage or contamination.

    A QRA is a formal and systematic approach to estimating the likelihood and consequences of hazardous LOC events, and expressing the results quantitatively as risk to people, the environment or your business. It is a tool for demonstration of risk levels, required for approval of a Major Accident Hazard (MAH) Facility. It is also required during major plant modifications and to changes in manning levels.

    At Eco and Partner Consult Limited we conduct QRA that could help organization’s identify major risk contributing scenario which could then be utilized for decision-making. And focusing on these will help a facility meet acceptability criteria and demonstrate that risks are as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).

    We analyze potential LOC scenarios for their consequences and frequencies (using historical databases, facility experience and parts count methodology). Based on consequences, frequencies and other conditional factors (such as manning levels, vulnerabilities, etc.), we estimate Location Specific Individual Risk, Individual Risk Per Annum, Potential Loss of Life and Societal risk. Identifying major risk contributors, we assess preventative and mitigation measures.

    We have large technical and scientific experienced teams to be able to conduct any kind of QRA for:

    • Emergency Planning (Onsite and Offsite)
    • Occupied Building Risk Assessment (OBRA/ BRA
    • Smoke and Gas Ingress Assessment (SGIA)

        HSE Management System and Compliance

        Effective Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) are essential for companies focused on safeguarding employee well-being and reducing costs linked to workplace injuries and illnesses. Building a sustainable management system starts with thoughtful planning and a holistic understanding of the organization as a whole.

        At Eco & Partner, our EHS professionals work closely with clients to create tailored solutions that consider each organization’s distinct operations and culture. We recognize that every company is unique, which is why we customize each OHSMS to align with specific requirements, locations, risk profiles, and cultural dynamics.

We utilize established methodologies to help our clients outline the essential procedures and processes necessary for achieving impactful results.

        Our main objective is to ensure that you have a practical system that can be efficiently maintained and improved with the resources at your disposal.

            Emergency Response Planning

            Service

            Emergency Response Planning

            The best time to prepare for an emergency is well before it occurs. If a fire or chemical spill occurs, you won’t have time to create an evacuation plan on the spot; you’ll be too busy focusing on immediate hazards. Taking a proactive approach to emergency planning helps you ensure the best possible outcomes for your people and business, and it allows you to think holistically about the situation, accounting for a multitude of variables.

            This approach boils down to a holistic emergency response plan for all the threats your business might face. While we can’t necessarily predict when critical events will happen, emergencies are a reality for every business, so you need to be ready.

            At the very least, every facility should develop and implement an emergency plan for protecting employees, visitors, contractors and anyone else in the facility. This part of the emergency plan is called “protective actions for life safety” and includes building evacuation (“fire drills”), “shelter-in-place” from an exterior airborne hazard such as a chemical release and lockdown. Lockdown is protective action when faced with an act of violence.

            Eco and Partner Consult Limited provides emergency management services, including disaster response and recovery. We have the experience, expertise, and resources to assist both public and private sector clients in addressing the entire continuum of devastating impacts of manmade and natural events.

                Water Resources Management

                Service

                Water Resources Management

                Surface waters sustain ecological systems and provide habitat for many plant and animal species. They also support a myriad of human uses, including drinking water, irrigation, industrial usage, livestock, industrial uses, hydropower, and
                recreation.

                Quality of life depends on diverse and complex ecological systems. As a growing body of evidence and global initiatives highlight the seriousness of biodiversity decline, and as measures are put in place to reverse this trend, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to understand and minimize their impact on ecosystems.
                An informed, sustainable approach to biodiversity and ecology management can provide opportunities for business stability and growth. Failing to proactively manage biodiversity-related risks appropriately can result in failure to secure required approvals, considerable cost increases, schedule delays, and friction with local communities and other stakeholders.
                Our team of professionals has experience in completing aquatic, terrestrial and wildlife surveys for a wide range of species and habitats for various projects. We work with Governments and private sectors to integrate biodiversity considerations into decision making and to develop and enhance related opportunities for business.

                Our work ranges from high level corporate policy support to targeted project or issue specific work. We work with our clients to understand the biodiversity implications of their projects, develop solutions to minimize adverse impacts from key decisions to ensure compliance with relevant standards especially the International Finance Corporation Performance standards and World Bank guidelines to provide strategic advice regarding project development.
