The Commercial Advantage Achieving an ISO standard is more than a badge on your website; it is a commitment to excellence that transforms how your business operates.
At Connect, we help you master the five core principles of the regulations:
- Win More Tenders: Meet strict customer requirements and enter supply chains that require ISO-certified partners.
- Risk Reduction Strategies: Implementing practical measures to eliminate or mitigate threats.
- Area Classification & Zoning: Mapping out physical spaces where explosive atmospheres may occur.
- Emergency Planning: Developing robust procedures and training for “worst-case” scenarios.
- Information & Training: Ensuring your workforce is competent, informed, and safe.
To provide you with an accurate proposal for a DSEAR Risk Assessment or Hazardous Area Classification, it helps to have a few details ready. Our team of specialists is standing by to help you navigate your compliance journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
View our frequently asked questions to learn more about our industry and services.
Most businesses start with ISO 9001 (Quality Management) as it is the foundation for customer satisfaction. If you are in construction or manufacturing, ISO 45001 (Health & Safety) and ISO 14001 (Environmental) are often equally vital for tendering.
Depending on the size of your organisation and the maturity of your current processes, it typically takes between 3 to 6 months. We work to build a realistic timeline that ensures the system is actually "embedded" rather than just rushed.
To maintain impartiality, certificates are issued by external UKAS-accredited bodies. Our role is to act as your expert consultant to build the system, train your staff, and ensure you pass the external audit with flying colours.
A Legal Register is a core requirement for ISO 14001 and 45001. It is a list of all the legislation that applies to your business. We create this for you and show you how to demonstrate that you are complying with each law.
Absolutely. This is called an Integrated Management System (IMS). It reduces duplication, saves time, and is often more cost-effective than managing ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 separately.
