Celebrating the achievement, the Rock Fall Senior Management Team noted:
As a business, we are firmly routed in the Safety Equipment Industry, we are constantly speaking to Senior Health and Safety Professionals about the challenges they face across various industries and felt that this accreditation would have several benefits, it would broaden our knowledge base and solidify some of our policies. In addition, it would give us an independent audit on our processes and enhance our reputation. Finally, it would highlight our strong commitment to ethical business practises. It has been a valuable process for all involved and we are delighted to have been re-awarded this approval, the team at Lloyds Register impressed us with their thorough approach. To have performed so well is pleasing, we are very proud of the team effort put into our Health & Safety systems as well as everyone following the protocols to keep us all safe.
