The ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 standards assess the conformity of a company's management system. After the initial dual certification on December 16, 2019, VÊPRES has just obtained its renewal. Although the company has always had a QSE (quality, health and safety, environment) approach, " certification confirms our day-to-day commitment and the professionalism of our teams ", explains Claire Cesari, QSE Manager. " Committing to results and customer satisfaction is one of our constant concerns. It' s also important for us to monitor the conditions in which our high-risk activities are carried out and the resources made available.

Areas of concern surveyed in greater depth and detail

While renewal may seem to require less preparation than initial certification, this is not the case. "At the time of the new audit, we know which points to watch and what the auditor will be looking at very closely. But he also probes certain points with more detailed, more precise examinations of the company as a whole. " This attention to detail explains why this stage is so important for the "pilots". Renewal is recognition of their work, and attests that previous recommendations have been taken into account.

Certification is also a guarantee of reliability for partners and service providers, customers, employees and temporary employment agencies. It attests to the company's commitment to continuous improvement. " For both our service providers and our customers, most of whom are also certified and face major challenges, it's a very reassuring fact. And for our employees and future recruits, it allows us to be clear about the way we work and the resources we make available to them. "

Renewal of this dual ISO 9001V2015 and ISO 45001V2018 certification, issued by Bureau Veritas, comes into force on 16/12/2022 for a three-year period.
