    The People

    Delivering high-quality products and services with safety at their core

    Walraven UK is driving safer, healthier working environments through its ISO 45001 commitment.

    The company manufactures electrical and mechanical fixings, fire protection, and sanitary systems. With 1,000 employees and 60 in the UK, it delivers solutions that cut installation time, improve efficiency, and prioritize workforce safety.

     

    The Challenge

    Enhancing safety and quality across the organization

    Walraven UK required a modern, robust management system to improve internal processes and employee well-being.

    Having initially improved health and safety with BS OHSAS 18001, the organization aimed to remain at the forefront of its sector. The goal was to create an inclusive culture where health and safety were understood, appreciated, and embedded across the company. At the same time, it needed to maintain high-quality systems for its customers and meet regulatory requirements. 

     

    The Solution

    Implementing ISO 45001 to strengthen safety culture

    BSI certification provided a framework to embed proactive risk management and employee engagement across the company.

    ISO 45001 enabled Walraven to create a modern health and safety management system focused on eliminating risks and fostering a proactive safety culture. Leadership and staff engagement were key, with communication through meetings and newsletters. Reporting improvements, including capturing near-miss incidents, enhanced transparency, and empowered employees, supporting a safer workplace. Certification to ISO 9001:2015 complemented this by ensuring consistent quality and continual improvement.
