Do I need to get someone from the council to nominate me, to do this, or can I just book on?

Hi Tim, thanks for your post here.

 

Nope, the Council nomination scheme is being phased out for 2015 and it's being replaced by a 25% discount on the initial application fee for all businesses attending the workshop and applying for assessment within 3 months thereafter (regardless of business size, i.e. nos. employees.)

 

Hence please book on and I look forward to meeting you there.

 

Cheers..

Paul

Hope this goes well for you, Paul.

We really enjoyed the Winchester one. Was really helpful. All being well we should have everything up to speed within the next 12 months.

Thanks,

Timon, thank you for coming along and your valuable questions and contributions throughout the day, that's what really makes it.

 

Good luck with everything and don't hesitate to "shout" if I can help with anything.

 

Cheers...n hoping to see you before 12 months

I'll come along, although I'll still need convincing why this would be better for us than ISO since ISO appears to be the only recognised accreditation in Scotland.

Hi Tom, thanks for your post.

 

Please do come along and find out more. Whilst ISO's do have national, even international if UKAS accredited, recognition they don't address the industry specific aspects of H&S compliance, operational competence / proficiency, arb technical knowledge and tree-work quality standards, i.e. the industry specific stuff.

 

However they certainly do help with procurement procedures in terms of quality management systems, as you have highlighted, as increasingly does being ARB Approved for the H&S compliance aspect.

 

Look forward to meeting you there and answering your questions.

 

Cheers ..

Paul
