AMB recognized for quality, health and safety and environmental services by Bureau Veritas

The recertification of AMB to ISO 9001:2000, 14001:2004, OHSAS 18001:1999 standards come after an in-depth and formal external surveillance process by Bureau Veritas. Certification included on-site audits, standardised testing and inspections, as well as surveillance audits during the certification period to ensure AMB's management processes throughout the UAE and Qatar are once again in-line with the International Standards.

This certification brings further solid recognition for AMB's clients and stakeholders and provides a continuous improvement process for the company. All department managers worked together, driven by senior management, to enforce the Integrated Management System which encompasses the requirements of the International Standards for quality, environment, health and safety aspects of all employees, subcontractors and visitors linked with AMB within the UAE and Qatar.

"AMB is privileged to be recertified for the three International Standards; on Quality, Health &Safety and Environment by Bureau Veritas, particularly as the company is increasingly expanding into the oil and gas industry, where this level of recognition is highly regarded," commented Mike Walker, QHSE Manager, AMB. "We will endeavor to work with Bureau Veritas through recurring surveillance audits, ensuring that as a company we continue to maintain and indeed improve our already high standard of services."
