The ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has had an enormous impact on organisations in virtually every sector.

Now that the UK's lockdown rules have been relaxed, many people are returning to the workplace after weeks of working from home. But things remain a long way from normal, and the new challenge for employers is to keep things running smoothly while following the government's workplace social distancing guidelines.

If you're not sure how to protect your workers from infection, NPT Management Systems can help. We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Infection Prevention & Control Management System that's specifically designed to limit the spread of infection and prepare your business for future outbreaks.

Here's what we can provide:

• Infection control policy for your company
• Infection Prevention and Control Management System (including user manual)
• A template for carrying out risk assessments
• Infection prevention objectives
• Training resources and links to additional guidance
• 2hrs of remote consultancy to help you implement the new system

As part of a supplier section or tendering process, you may be required to complete a set of pre-qualification questionnaires. These can be time consuming and often appear complex due to the terminology used and the evidence that you're required to submit.

But don't worry - NPT Management Systems are on hand to help. We are experienced at completing PQQs, and can work with you to fill in your pre-qualification questionnaires quickly and efficiently!

Although it's not something we tend to advertise on our website, we are more than happy to help you complete the necessary paperwork. Just give us a call on 02380 659 867 or send your enquiry to enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk today.

Back in 2016, we helped grit blasting and specialist coating company Southern Coating Contractors to implement a quality management system that met both ISO 9001 and National Highways Sector Scheme 19A requirements.

Since then, we have been assisting SCC with annual surveillance audits, and we are pleased to report that - after a site visit in Hatfield - the latest audit was completed without any non-conformances being raised.

What is NHSS19A?

NHSS stands for National Highways Sector Schemes, a type of management system that's specifically geared towards organisations who work on the British road network.

NHSS19A is a specific certification that covers the use of corrosion-resistant industrial coatings for ferrous metals. As mentioned above, NPT Management Systems previously helped Southern Coating Contractors to plan and implement a bespoke management system that complied with NHSS19A standards as well as meeting the requirements for ISO 9001.

Here at NPT Management Systems, we love to contribute to our community. Not only have we helped countless Hampshire-based businesses to achieve ISO 9001 certification, we're also enthusiastic supporters of many local charities and organisations.

For example, we recently had the privilege of attending a charity ball organised by Ben's Heroes Trust, a charity that helps young cancer patients to access new treatments and enjoy a better quality of life. We were thrilled to show our support and make a donation - the 'Captain's Table' event was a huge success and the money raised came to more than £6,500!

We have also historically supported sporting events like the River Hamble Games, which will be taking place on the shore of the Hamble this weekend. We've previously sponsored the volleyball event, and we're immensely looking forward to hearing about this year's games - we're sure they'll be a smashing success once again.

NPT Management Systems are based in Netley Abbey, near Southampton. Click here to learn more about us and how we help local businesses to achieve ISO certification.

Imperial Cars are on of the UK's largest used car retailers. They offer a huge range of vehicles, and they're very well-respected within their industry; just a few months ago, they were named Used Car Supermarket of the Year at the 2017 Used Car Awards.

Imperial Cars first achieved ISO 9001 certification in January 2016. We worked closely with the Imperial Cars team to make sure they were prepared for their intensive 4-day audit, and we were of course very pleased when they were certified by a UKAS-accredited certification body.

NPT Management Systems have continued to support Imperial Cars in a consultancy capacity over the last couple of years, and we recently helped them to transition to ISO 9001:2015, the latest version of the ISO 9001 standard for quality management systems. Once again, this process went smoothly and successfully - here's what the Imperial Cars team had to say about the service we provided during the transition:

"Neil Peattie and his team supported us every step of the way as we worked towards achieving the ISO 9001 accreditation. Since attaining the standard, we have engaged Neil as a consultant to help us continually improve our business and ensure that we are working to the latest requirements of the standard.

"Without Neil's help and support over the past three years, we would not have been able to achieve what we have in relation to our quality management system, which has had a very positive impact on our product quality, customer experience and staff, and therefore would have no hesitation in recommending him and his team."

- Neil Smith, Operations Director
