C&M Water Achieves ISO 45001 Certification, Strengthening Its Commitment to Health, Safety and Quality

Okehampton, Devon – C&M Water is pleased to announce that it has achieved ISO 45001:2018 certification, the internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

Awarded by NQA, the certification confirms that C&M Water operates to rigorous, audited standards designed to protect employees, contractors, clients and the wider public. The scope of certification covers the provision of water hygiene services, reflecting the company’s core operations.

ISO 45001 provides a structured framework for identifying hazards, managing risk and improving workplace safety. For C&M Water, this certification formalises the robust health and safety practices already embedded across the business and supports a culture of continual improvement.

Managing Director Gareth Cooper said:

“Health and safety is fundamental to how we operate. Our engineers work in live environments every day, including schools, care homes, hospitals and industrial sites. Achieving ISO 45001 gives our clients added confidence that we manage risk properly and work to clear, recognised standards at all times.”

The certification complements C&M Water’s existing ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management certifications, together forming an integrated management system that underpins quality, safety and environmental responsibility across the business.

The assessment process involved a detailed review of operational controls, risk management procedures, training systems, leadership engagement and incident prevention measures. Ongoing surveillance audits will ensure continued compliance and improvement.

ISO 45001 also builds on C&M Water’s wider industry credentials and recent recognition for excellence in water testing and compliance services, reinforcing the company’s position as a trusted provider of water hygiene solutions across Devon and the South West.

With certification valid until December 2028, C&M Water remains committed to maintaining high standards, protecting people and delivering safe, compliant water systems for its clients.
