Achilles Infrastructure Audit will allow suppliers to comply with three separate UK audit requirements for the construction, rail, and utilities sectors, in one single audit process.
Until now, businesses wishing to supply products and services to the three primary infrastructure-related sectors have had to undertake three separate audits – the construction industry’s Common Assessment Standard Audit, the rail industry’s Rail Audit and the utilities sector’s UVDB Verify Audit.
Now with the introduction of the single Achilles Infrastructure Audit, not only will supplier organisations save considerable time, but they will also achieve multi-industry approval in one go – opening considerable new opportunities for business growth.
Rhodar, a leading company in asbestos removal, demolition, and remediation services, were the first to undertake the new 3-in-1 Achilles Infrastructure Audit during its pilot phase.
Jason Ellis, Rhodar’s Southern Regional Director said “We are delighted to have been able to work with Achilles on the Infrastructure Audit pilot. We work across rail, construction and utilities in the UK and this new approach will save us significant time and effort whilst enabling us to continue to demonstrate the high standards we aspire to across multiple industries”.
Katie Ferrier, Achilles Regional Director responsible for UK, USA and Canada said: “Creating a single Audit covering construction, rail and utilities gives our customers a simpler and very much more time efficient way to demonstrate their credentials across these sectors.
“Achilles is internationally recognised as being the gold standard in supplier pre-qualification, verification and compliance and now, with this new combined Audit option, we are providing an easier, more effective way for businesses to take advantage of those credentials.”
