Keysource, the leading data centre design and build company, has been accredited to the OHSAS 18001 standard, the internationally recognised accreditation for occupational health and safety management systems and ISO 14001 for environmental management systems.

Following a two-stage assessment with the British Standards Institute (BSI), Keysource was recognised for its robust policies and processes and leading safety culture. Four BSI auditors and a number of key company personnel took part in the assessment and the company policies, management systems procedures and projects were inspected during the process. The auditors made a number of positive comments and gave excellent feedback during both stages of the assessment. They also stated that they were ‘impressed with the attitudes and knowledge of all who were interviewed’.

The accreditations underpin Keysource’s Culture Statement, which outlines the company’s five core values. This includes ‘Safety First, Always’, which encourages all employees to embrace and champion safety culture within Keysource – this is exemplified by ‘intervening on unsafe behaviour, acts or conditions’ and by ensuring suitable risk assessments are at the core of all activities.

Justin Busk, Head of Safety, Health & Environment at Keysource, said: “The data centre environments in which we specialize are by their nature hazardous environments and high consumers of power. Achieving these important health, safety and environmental accreditations demonstrates our commitment to our Safety First, Always culture and delivering world class services and facilities for our customers.”
