When it comes to quality and safety, we’re on top of the world!
We put safety first at Transdev, every time – and as a team, we always strive to boost the quality of everything we do, while protecting the environment around us.
That’s why we’re proud to have been awarded an impressive three globally-recognised benchmarks for quality, sustainability and safety.
Driving standards higher
Our engineering and operations teams across our nine operating centres in Yorkshire and Lancashire have won recognition from the ISO, the International Organisation for Standardisation, an independent body which works across 171 countries to ensure consistent delivery in technology, management and manufacturing.
Transdev now holds three ISO standards marks, including:
- ISO9001 – for Quality. This recognises efficient working, including reducing waste, and is based on a plan-do-check-act process to recording and reviewing procedure, structure and responsibilities
- ISO14001 – Environmental. An international standard that sets out an effective environmental management system, this provides a process to help cut waste and be more sustainable
- ISO45001 – Health and Safety. This global standard for safety covers hazard assessment and risk control to reduce illness, accidents and injuries at work. Holding this standard demonstrates a clear commitment to health, safety and wellbeing to colleagues and external stakeholders.
Safe and efficient
ISO standards are agreed internationally by experts in the field, to act as a formula which sets out the best way for us to provide a safe and efficient service to our customers all the way from our engineering workshops to the end of a customer’s journey with us.
Meeting and beating these standards means our customers can be confident that when they choose to travel with us, every aspect of what we do has been measured against a globally-recognised set of benchmarks that are all about making things better, easier and above all, safer.
Our mission to deliver
We are now implementing the three ISO standards across our business in a 12-month delivery programme, guided by our company-wide Standards Team. Their mission is led by Head of Operations Alan Isherwood, whose job it is to make sure all of our depots perform up to the mark and beyond.
ISO members from each country nominate experts and vote on draft standards to identify the best solutions to global challenges.
Over 25,000 ISO standards cover almost all aspects of technology, management and manufacturing – with businesses invited to adopt ISO standards on a voluntary basis.
ISO’s first standard, setting out a reference temperature for length measurements in industry, was published in 1951 from ISO’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
