Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment Management (QHSE) is an essential part of many businesses. QHSE is the process of creating a corporate management approach and system that improves the safety of employees and the efficiency of your company.

For many brands, this can be a time-consuming task and requires hiring a dedicated QHSE Manager to take on these responsibilities. However, in the fast-paced, digital-led world that we live in, is this the most cost-effective and efficient method? 

Here at Critical Path, our unique online management system offers businesses an alternative to managing your ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 requirements.

What is QHSE and why do you need it?

Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment Management is the dedicated approach to keeping employees safe while in the workplace. The vast majority of accidents are caused by human error, and a QHSE system can help to reduce and control accidents by establishing compatible health and safety strategies. It also helps to ensure businesses are remaining as environmentally friendly as possible.

QHSE is based on three core standards, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Each of these is designed to help businesses improve the safety of their workplace, improve the quality of service to customers, and reduce its impact on the environment.

There are many benefits to incorporating a QHSE program, including:

• Increasing transparency for employees, allowing them to see exactly what a company is doing.
• Creates a clear structure for businesses.
• Improve communication throughout the company.
• Make decisions based on exact data.
• Reduces accidents and the expensive claims that can follow them.

How Critical Path can help you

Here at Critical Path, we know the importance of having an effective QHSE strategy. That is why we partnered with Oscar Compliance Software to offer their unique outsourced system, which has been designed to ensure you are fully compliant and can manage everything for you.

Employing a dedicated internal Manager to manage your ISO accreditations can be a costly process, based on our latest research the average salary for an internal ISO resource starts at £38,000 per annum. However, opting for the Oscar Compliance system is far more cost-effective, starting at just £2,000 a year in comparison.

In the current economic landscape, we understand the importance of cash flow, which is why our basic package includes a small connection fee to switch the system live and then a monthly fee starting from just £150 a month.

We also work with a range of auditing bodies, helping to ensure that from the moment of your initial consultation through to the official audit, you will be able to save both time and money.

What level of support is included with the software?

As a leading ISO consultancy, our online management system is UKAS and non-UKAS compliant, and each client is able to select the level of certification that they require. We offer all of our customers a pre-audit as part of their package, and we are proud to have a 100% certification pass rate. We also provide all of our customers with in-depth customer service, with our online management system coming with unlimited remote support, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Oscar Compliance Online Management System is fully integrated for ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018, ensuring your business is able to enjoy all of the benefits of a QHSE Manager without the need of hiring an internal employee.

As a leading ISO consultancy, our mission is to help you transform your business. All of our customers are able to enjoy a free, no-obligation online demonstration, ensuring you can truly understand how we can benefit your business.

While Critical Path is focused on ensuring you are able to save money and remain fully compliant, our management system can also help improve your sustainability. We are a completely paperless company, and we are focused on operating as environmentally friendly as possible. We believe in a digital reformation, which is why we have moved away from the traditional paper-based methods of managing ISO.

We support our clients entirely digitally, with our remote support allowing us to react much quicker. We can set up screen share options with our clients, as well as provide support over the phone, via email or through our web chat options. Not only does this help to ensure you receive the quickest response possible, but it also ensures we are able to minimise our fuel consumption, helping us to be even more environmentally friendly.
