Asset achieves top health and safety accreditation
Water management solutions manufacturer, Asset International Ltd, has attained a top accreditation for its health and safety practices from international business standards company, BSI.
Asset, which specialises in manufacturing large diameter plastic pipes for the water management and construction industries, has achieved the respected BS OHSAS 18001 accreditation after a period of rigorous assessment.
BS OHSAS 18001 sets out the minimum requirements for occupational health and safety management best practice. It is a framework for an occupational health and safety (ohs) management system, which helps organisations put in place the best policies, procedures and controls required to achieve the optimum working conditions and workplace health and safety, all aligned to internationally recognised best practice.
Asset hopes that such recognition from BSI will attract more business from companies who use the accreditation as a pre-qualifier for the procurement process.
Speaking about the new certification, Graham Bennett, operations manager at Asset International, commented: “Working in the heavy manufacturing sector our approach to health and safety is the most vital element of what we do, from the factory floor all the way to our project sites around the globe.
“The world of health and safety is ever evolving and by achieving and maintaining the standards of best practice outlined by industry leaders like BSI, we can ensure we provide our employees with the best possible working environment in which to operate.”
Asset is currently involved in a number of high profile projects around the UK.
Established in 1901, BSI was the world’s first national standards body. The BSI Kitemark, which Asset already possess, has provided reassurance for over 100 years and the company is in possession of a Royal Charter. BSI is one of the world’s largest independent certification bodies for management systems and works with over 80,000 clients every year in 172 countries worldwide to help them adopt and cultivate the habits of best practice.

Testimonials
Our Herne Bay development called for a bespoke implementation due to space restrictions on site. As Weholite pipes are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, they could be easily offloaded from the lorry and placed directly into the trench, which also removed a number of health and safety issues and saved a considerable amount of time.
"Asset’s ability to create a custom drainage solution to our exact specifications was highly impressive. The team were reliable, fast and efficient and the project was a complete success due to their professionalism and drainage expertise."
Taylor Wimpey
Weholite was the ideal choice of pipe for our soakaway systems at the Topsham Road site due to it being lightweight and fast to install. We pride ourselves on building housing developments that are well protected against the elements and Asset has played a vital part in making this possible.”
