Executive summary

During the course of this visit, the quality management system has demonstrated that it is supporting the achievement of the explicit intended outcomes.

The organisation’s strategy is “To be the most trusted EHS partner to distributors and customers worldwide”.

During the course of the visit, relevant quality risks and opportunities were seen to have been identified and effectively managed.

The QHSE Manager confirmed the effectiveness of the system as seen through the eyes of clients.

Particular strengths of the system identified was the openness and attitude of the employees interviewed.

Of the three non-conformances open from the last audit one was closed and two remain open for review at the next audit.

One area of weakness was identified and this were as follows;

  1. Calibration

The organisation is already aware that the system is not being used to full effect, and this was seen during the audit.

A number of opportunities for improvement have been identified. Although these are not followed up at future visits, they may offer significant opportunities to strengthen the system, so please do consider their merits.

Changes in the organisation since last assessment

The following changes in relation to organisation structure and key personnel involved in the certified management system were noted: The appointment of a new Operations Manager starting 27th June 2022. The appointment of a new Production Manager. The appointment of a new Supply Chain Manager.

No change in relation to the audited organisation’s activities, products or services covered by the scope of certification was identified.

There was no change to the reference or normative documents which is related to the scope of certification.

Your next steps

NCR close out process

Corrective actions with respect to nonconformities raised at the last assessment have been reviewed. Actions were not found to be effectively implemented in all areas. Such areas, identified in subsequent sections of the report, will be further reviewed for closure at the next assessment. A minor nonconformity requiring attention was identified. This, along with other findings, is contained within subsequent sections of the report. A minor nonconformity relates to a single identified lapse, which in itself would not indicate a breakdown in the management system’s ability to effectively control the processes for which it was intended. It is necessary to investigate the underlying cause of any issue to determine corrective action. The proposed action will be reviewed for effective implementation at the next assessment.

Please refer to Assessment Conclusion and Recommendation section for the required submission and the defined timeline.

Assessment conclusion and recommendation

Position

Team Leader

The audit objectives have been achieved and the certificate scope remains appropriate. The audit team concludes based on the results of this audit that the organisation does fulfil the standards and audit criteria identified within the audit report and it is deemed that the management system continues to achieve its intended outcomes.

RECOMMENDED - Corrective Action Plan Required (‘Minor’ findings only): The audited organisation may be recommended for continued certification, based upon the acceptance of a satisfactory corrective action plan for all ‘Minor’ findings as shown in this report. Effective implementation of corrective actions will be reviewed during the next surveillance audit.

Please submit a plan through the BSI Connect Portal detailing the nonconformity, the root cause, correction and your proposed corrective action, with responsibilities and timescales allocated. The plan is to be submitted no later than 01/07/2022. If the corrective action plan is not received by this date you may be putting your certification status at risk.

For any questions please contact your local BSI office, referencing the report number 3394466.

One non-conformance for Management Review to be reviewed at the next surveillance audit.

Use of certification documents, mark / logo or report

Management System

Details:

The current process for management review does not ensure the QMS is adequately reviewed for suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

At present an annual review meeting is held (last conducted Jan 2020). The annual review typically concludes that the system is effective, however the impartial review informally conducted by the management team would indicate to the contrary e.g. lack of ownership of processes, documentation not reviewed and updated effectively.

Objective Evidence:

Cause

Monthly top management reviews take place. It is understood that the organisation will consider an agenda matrix, to ensure full coverage of requirements. Will follow up at the next audit. Annual Management Review is not fit-for-purpose.

Correction/containment

Assessment Report.

Expected outcomes for accredited certification What accredited management system certification means? To achieve an organisation’s objectives related to the Expected Outcomes intended by the management systems standard, the accredited management system certification is expected to provide confidence that the organisation has a management system that conforms to the applicable requirements of the specific ISO standard.

In particular, it is to be expected that the organisation • has a system which is appropriate for its organisational context and certification scope, a defined policy appropriate for the intent of the specific management system standard and to the nature, scale and impacts of its activities, products and services over their lifecycles, is addressing risks and opportunities associated with its context and objectives; • analyses and understands customer needs and expectations, as well as the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements related to its products, processes and services; • ensures that product, process and service characteristics have been specified in order to meet customer and applicable statutory/regulatory requirements; • has determined and is managing the processes needed to achieve the Expected Outcomes intended by the management system standard; • has ensured the availability of resources necessary to support the operation and monitoring of these products, processes and services; • monitors and controls the defined product process and service characteristics; • aims to prevent nonconformities, and has systematic improvement processes in place including the addressing of complaints from interested parties; • has implemented an effective internal audit and management review process; • is monitoring, measuring, analysing, evaluating and improving the effectiveness of its management system and has implemented processes for communicating internally, as well as responding to and communicating with interested external parties.

What accredited management systems certification does not mean? It is important to recognize that management system standards define requirements for an organisation’s management system, and not the specific performance criteria that are to be achieved (such as product or service standards, environmental performance criteria etc.).

Accredited management systems certification should provide confidence in the organisation’s ability to meet its objectives related to the intent of the management system standard. A management systems audit is not a full legal compliance audit, and does not necessarily ensure ethical behaviour or that the organisation will always achieve 100% conformity and legal compliance, though this should of course be a permanent goal.

Within its scope of certification, accredited management systems certification does not imply or ensure, for example: • that the organisation is providing a superior product and service, or • that the organisation’s product and service itself is certified as meeting the requirements of an ISO (or any other) standard or specification.

Nonconformity: Non-fulfilment of a requirement.

Major nonconformity: Nonconformity that affects the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results. Nonconformities could be classified as major in the following circumstances: • If there is a significant doubt that effective process control is in place, or that products or services will meet specified requirements; • A number of minor nonconformities associated with the same requirement or issue could demonstrate a systemic failure and thus constitute a major nonconformity.

Minor nonconformity: Nonconformity that does not affect the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results.

Opportunity for improvement: It is a statement of fact made by an assessor during an assessment, and substantiated by objective evidence, referring to a weakness or potential deficiency in a management system which if not improved may lead to nonconformity in the future. We may provide generic information about industrial best practices but no specific solution shall be provided as a part of an opportunity for improvement.

Executive summary

This audit was carried out remotely with agreement of the client and has been conducted using Information and communication technologies including Teams and WhatsApp IT methodology, which was also with full agreement and support of the client.

The planned audit objectives have been achieved, there were no connectivity issues which adversely affected the audit.

The organisation’s strategy is “To be the most trusted EHS partner to distributors and customers worldwide”.

During the course of this visit, the quality management system has demonstrated that it is generally supporting the achievement of the intended outcomes. Relevant quality risks and opportunities were seen to have been effectively managed, however following changes of personnel several issues were identified with the quality management system

A particular strengths of the system identified was the openness and attitude of the employees interviewed.

Of the four non-conformances outstanding from the last assessment, two have been successfully closed. 1 major and 6 minor NCR’s have been identified during the assessment

A one day close out visit has accordingly been booked for 27 April 2023. This will be conducted by a qualified assessor and will be used as part of your evaluation of compliance against ISO9001:2015. This is chargeable at standard rates.

A corrective action plan is required. Please submit this through the BSI Connect Portal detailing the nonconformities, the root causes, correctios and your proposed corrective actions, with responsibilities and timescales allocated. The plan is to be submitted no later than 07/03/2023. If the corrective action plan is not received by this date you may be putting your certification status at risk.

It was noted that the client is not in possession of ISO9001:2015. This can be purchased from www.bsigroup.com

Your next steps

NCR close out process

Corrective actions with respect to nonconformities raised at the last assessment have been reviewed. Actions were not found to be effectively implemented in all areas. Such areas, identified in subsequent sections of the report, will be further reviewed for closure at the next assessment. Both major nonconformities and minor nonconformities requiring attention were identified. These, along with other findings, are contained within subsequent sections of the report. A minor nonconformity relates to a single identified lapse in the management system. A major nonconformity indicates a breakdown in the management system’s ability to effectively control the processes for which it was intended. The identification of a major nonconformity places the validity of certification at risk. It is necessary to investigate the underlying cause of any nonconformity to determine corrective action. The proposed action will be reviewed for effective implementation at the next assessment.

Please refer to Assessment Conclusion and Recommendation section for the required submission and the defined timeline.

Assessment objective, scope and criteria The objective of the assessment was to conduct a surveillance assessment and look for positive evidence to verify that elements of the scope of certification and the requirements of the management standard are effectively addressed by the organization’s management system; that the system is demonstrating the ability to support the achievement of statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements and the organization’s specified objectives as applicable with regard to the scope of the management standard; to confirm the ongoing achievement and applicability of the forward strategic plan and where applicable to identify potential areas for improvement of the management system.

The scope of the assessment is the documented management system with relation to the requirements of ISO9001:2015 and the defined assessment plan provided in terms of locations and areas of the system and organization to be assessed.

ISO9001:2015 Hughes management system documentation

Statutory and regulatory requirements The management system contains processes for legal and other requirements and identifies the sources to be used for researching which legal and other requirements are applicable to the organisation and its activities Company Law, Employment laws and health, safety and environmental legislation all apply

The processes involved were considered to be effective in that there are no known breaches of applicable legislation.

Management System

Details:

The current process for management review does not ensure the QMS is adequately reviewed for suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

At present an annual review meeting is held (last conducted Jan 2020). The annual review typically concludes that the system is effective, however the impartial review informally conducted by the management team would indicate to the contrary e.g. lack of ownership of processes, documentation not reviewed and updated effectively.

Objective Evidence:

Cause

Monthly top management reviews take place. It is understood that the organization will consider an agenda matrix, to ensure full coverage of requirements. Will follow up at the next audit. Annual Management Review is not fit-for-purpose.

Correction/containment

Ensure that all equipment is calibrated as specified and ensure that supporting certificates and labels are affixed to the equipment.

The issue here was a Fluke multimeter whose calibration had expired. The meter was pulled form a drawer by the Tanks team leader. Subsequent discussion confirmed that this meter had not been used for some considerable time, and that the area concerned was appropriately serviced by meters within expiration.

Assessment Report.

Expected outcomes for accredited certification What accredited management system certification means? To achieve an organization’s objectives related to the Expected Outcomes intended by the management systems standard, the accredited management system certification is expected to provide confidence that the organization has a management system that conforms to the applicable requirements of the specific ISO standard.

In particular, it is to be expected that the organization • has a system which is appropriate for its organizational context and certification scope, a defined policy appropriate for the intent of the specific management system standard and to the nature, scale and impacts of its activities, products and services over their lifecycles, is addressing risks and opportunities associated with its context and objectives; • analyses and understands customer needs and expectations, as well as the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements related to its products, processes and services; • ensures that product, process and service characteristics have been specified in order to meet customer and applicable statutory/regulatory requirements; • has determined and is managing the processes needed to achieve the Expected Outcomes intended by the management system standard; • has ensured the availability of resources necessary to support the operation and monitoring of these products, processes and services; • monitors and controls the defined product process and service characteristics; • aims to prevent nonconformities, and has systematic improvement processes in place including the addressing of complaints from interested parties; • has implemented an effective internal audit and management review process; • is monitoring, measuring, analysing, evaluating and improving the effectiveness of its management system and has implemented processes for communicating internally, as well as responding to and communicating with interested external parties.

What accredited management systems certification does not mean? It is important to recognize that management system standards define requirements for an organization’s management system, and not the specific performance criteria that are to be achieved (such as product or service standards, environmental performance criteria etc).

Accredited management systems certification should provide confidence in the organization’s ability to meet its objectives related to the intent of the management system standard. A management systems audit is not a full legal compliance audit, and does not necessarily ensure ethical behaviour or that the organization will always achieve 100% conformity and legal compliance, though this should of course be a permanent goal.

Within its scope of certification, accredited management systems certification does not imply or ensure, for example: • that the organization is providing a superior product and service, or • that the organization’s product and service itself is certified as meeting the requirements of an ISO (or any other) standard or specification.

Assessment Report.

Definitions of findings:

Nonconformity: Non-fulfilment of a requirement.

Major nonconformity: Nonconformity that affects the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results. Nonconformities could be classified as major in the following circumstances: • If there is a significant doubt that effective process control is in place, or that products or services will meet specified requirements; • A number of minor nonconformities associated with the same requirement or issue could demonstrate a systemic failure and thus constitute a major nonconformity.

Minor nonconformity: Nonconformity that does not affect the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results.

Opportunity for improvement: It is a statement of fact made by an assessor during an assessment, and substantiated by objective evidence, referring to a weakness or potential deficiency in a management system which if not improved may lead to nonconformity in the future. We may provide generic information about industrial best practices but no specific solution shall be provided as a part of an opportunity for improvement.

“SETTING THE STANDARD FOR SAFETY”

QMS000 Quality Manual - Customer

1.0

Scope

The design, development, manufacture and supply of industrial safety showers, eyebaths, decontamination units, cubicles and peripheries to company or customer requirements in the United Kingdom.

2.0 Overview and company history

•

The Company was founded in July 1950 by John D Hughes M B E, a qualified Mechanical Engineer and father of the present Managing Director. Activities

included the fabrication of pipe work and pressure vessels along with the erection of pipelines and structural steelwork for the chemical and petrochemical industries.

Whilst working on various sites where chemicals were being manufactured, the Company’s employees became aware of an absence of effective Emergency Shower and Eyewash facilities. This deficiency was painfully highlighted on several occasions when chemical or other burns were suffered. Such as the case when a Hughes employee, Charlie Gamble, accidentally stepped into a tank containing a sulphurous mixture, causing burns to his foot and leg. The only decontamination facility on the site was a domestic cast iron bath half full of stagnant, contaminated water!

From these observations, the Company began designing and developing a range of Emergency Safety Showers and Eyebaths long before any of the current HSE/COSHH requirements or recommendations. Initially, these Emergency Showers and Eyebaths were rather crude and basic, but with feedback and constructive criticism from users, designs were improved and refinements such as frost protection were included into unit design.

With a steady increase in demand for such equipment, J. D. Hughes Fabrications Limited was incorporated in September 1968 specifically to manufacture Emergency Shower and Eyebath equipment. The Company soon became the market leader and for the past forty years, has been the largest specialist manufacturer of this type of equipment throughout Europe.

Since taking control of the Company in the late seventies, Tony D. Hughes, son of the founder, and a qualified Mechanical Engineer, has brought his own personal touch and engineering expertise to the Company and its products. Under his direction all products have been the subject of continual design and development from both functional and aesthetic aspects.

With a philosophy of only using the very best materials around, and, building each Emergency Shower and Eye/Face wash unit to the highest achievable standard, Hughes products are widely regarded as the best available on the market with an expected life span that far exceeds that of the nearest rivals.

Page 3 of 10

In 1992, accreditation to BS EN ISO 9002 was further evidence of the Company’s commitment to quality. In December 2002, this accreditation was re-certified to the rigorous certification of BS EN ISO 9001:2000.

In 2009, we achieved the Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001:2004. In 2010, we became the first manufacturing company in the North West to achieve the Investors in People-Gold Award. This followed on from the award of the IIP Standard in 2002 and develops the criteria of the original award into a new and improved standard. Hughes has always set very high standards in its personnel development, training and working conditions, therefore only a limited number of new measures had to be implemented to obtain the Investors in People Gold Accreditation.

In 2012, at our review with Investors in People, we once again achieved Gold standard. On this occasion, we also received the Investors in People Health and Wellbeing Award in recognition of Company initiatives to promote good health among staff. In the same year, we were also reassessed and retained our Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001 and the Quality Standard ISO 9001 both accredited by the British Standards Institute.

These important achievements highlight our commitment to act as a responsible employer and member of the community.

They were followed by a Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2012 - Continuous Achievement. This held special significance as it came in the same year we celebrated Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. It also marked a second success for Hughes in this prestigious award, having previously won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise International Trade in 2006.

Since the early 1990’s, J. D. Hughes Fabrications Ltd has extended its range of activities by becoming involved in other associated businesses. To complement the Portaflex Decontamination Shower, a comprehensive range of Mass Decontamination Units has been developed for the Emergency Services and the Military, as well as for use by the Chemical, Petrochemical and associated Industries.

In 2000, Hughes opened an office in Germany, Hughes Notduschen GmbH, and formed a new company The Emergency Shower Company Limited to compete with their biggest competitor, The Safety Shower Company, which Hughes successfully acquired in December 2003.

To simplify things and to avoid confusion by their customers, the Company was renamed, and in 1997 became the J. D. Hughes Group Plc, with the trading companies Hughes Safety Showers Ltd, The Emergency Shower Company Limited and Hughes Notduschen GmbH becoming wholly owned subsidiaries.

In 2006, Hughes opened a sales office/warehouse in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, near Dubai, relocating to larger premises nearby in 2010 to provide additional warehouse space and larger offices. In 2006, we also embarked on a joint venture in Canada, establishing an office to cover the North American market. In 2010, the North American business expanded by opening a sales office in Houston, Texas.

Page 4 of 10

To accommodate increasing sales, we opened the new Operations Centre in 2010, close to the existing factory. This provided much needed extra manufacturing capacity, and additional office space for administration and training.

May 2016 saw Hughes Safety Showers Ltd join the Justrite Manufacturing Co. family of industrial hazardous safety and environmental spill containment products.
