Environmental and Occupational Risk Management, EORM, Awarded ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Certifications

BVQi certifies the California-headquartered environmental, health and safety management consulting firm and its regional offices

SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA, Apr. 21 -/E-Wire/Business Wire/-- Environmental and Occupational Risk Management Inc. (EORM(R)), a leading environmental, health and safety (EHS) management consulting firm, announced today that they have successfully achieved ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications. EORM is the first EHS services consultancy to be awarded certification by Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQi).

"Since we provide guidance to many clients on the registration process and its requirements, and because we believe it's an important management system for any company, we felt it was critical to experience the certification process ourselves," stated Kerrie Romanow, EORM vice president of Operations. "We believe EHS is important to our employees. Although our formal ISO team was 20 individuals representing all EORM regions and practices, everyone in the company participated in helping achieve certification."

EORM helps their clients develop and implement complete EHS Management Systems that conform to ISO 14001 and/or OHSAS 18001 standards. These systems can readily integrate with existing ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems (QMS) and/or other Business Management Systems including: Human Resources, Accounting, Operations, Six-Sigma, 5-S, Lean Manufacturing, and Just-In-Time (JIT). EORM specializes in ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 program auditing, training, management consulting, and implementation. In addition, EORM provides on-site support to its clients in a full- or part-time capacity to manage the delivery of new EHS initiatives.

"It is quite clear EORM believes protection of the environment and employees is essential to good business management and ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 are practical means to integrate that belief into their business practices," commented John Pyeha, Sr., Lead Auditor, BVQi. "EORM has implemented their HSE-MS with enthusiasm and is already achieving good results."

EORM selected BVQi to conduct the certification. "We wanted a reputable, recognized certification organization," said Romanow. "They are also well-known for their excellent customer service, so they were a good match for our company culture." EORM's Sunnyvale, CA headquarters and all regional offices were included in the certification.

EORM is a leading environmental, health and safety firm that partners with companies to optimize EHS by managing risk, lowering costs, increasing productivity, and strengthening business advantage.
