PSV - the fabrication arm of global engineering and construction services company Aker Solutions has been granted acclaimed accreditation in three key areas.

PSV, which specialises in structural fabrication and steel pipework, has been awarded triple certification in quality management and environmental management, as well as occupational health and safety standards from the Lloyds Register Qualtiy Assurance.

Rod Buchan, Managing Director of Aker Offshore Partner Ltd division of Aker Solutions in Aberdeen, said: 'We're extremely pleased to have gained all three of these very important, internationally recognised quality, health & safety and environment standards.

'This again underlines our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of HSE and Quality and establishing PSV as a leading light in what has always been a highly competitive market.'

The quality management award, ISO 9001, is designed to help businesses adopt a more structured and organised approach to the way they operate.

Gaining an environmental management standard, known as ISO 14001, highlights how companies can reduce waste, recycle more effectively and in the long term save money.

OH SAS 18001 is the health and safety standard and has helped firms like PSV clarify the impact on health and safety issues as well as reduce the risk of accidents.

All three standards require a culture of continual improvement to be evident and demonstrated right throughout the organisation - one of the hardest parts of the certification to achieve.
