Case Study: Delivering an expert consultant to implement ISO Management Systems

Background

Irwin and Colton, specialists in health, safety, environment, and sustainability recruitment, were engaged by a leading transport organisation to secure an ISO Management Consultant. The objective was to implement ISO 14001 and 45001 standards and achieve accreditation for both, requiring a professional with technical expertise and project management skills to align policies and procedures with these standards.
