At STL, we are committed to maintaining the highest health and safety and environmental standards, holding the ISO 14001:2015 environmental standard and being one of the first manufacturers in the UK to achieve ISO 45001, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to maintaining a world class, safe working environment.
Recently, STL were successfully audited by a key customer who are an industry leader in smart metering, grid edge intelligence and smart infrastructure technology.
The thorough corporate social responsibility themed audit focused on health and safety and employee wellbeing, with STL achieving excellent results and feedback.
STL welcomes audits such as this from our customers as a demonstration of our commitment to continuous improvement. Alongside six-monthly BSI audits, these activities run smoothly as part of our ongoing operations.
Paul Booth, Factory Manager at Samuel Taylor Limited comments: “Achieving the best possible health and safety and environmental standards is the result of a real team effort by all our shop floor employees and our partner Bob Hughes at Temple Quality Management Systems.
“It is driven by our desire to minimize the negative environmental impact of our operations whilst reducing waste, associated costs and increasing efficiencies across the business. For example, we have succeeded in implementing a robust environmental management system that follows best practices for waste management. This included implementing a systems directive; computer-based tracking of all information required for the standard, along with weekly uploads of documents to prove these items are in practice”.
Naturally for a precision engineering company, we also set ourselves high standards with regards to process quality. From our first certification of BS5750 in 1986 to the current ISO 9001:2015, STL has understood and implemented the improvements in product and process quality, as they became available.
Quality is the philosophy at the heart of what we do.
