Business News 3 QED Environmental Systems achieves ISO 14001 certification
QED Environmental Systems, Inc. has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable business operations by attaining the ISO 14001 environmental management certification.
ISO 14001 was launched in 2015 and is the International Organisation for Standardisation’s (ISO) premier standard for establishing an effective environmental management system, assuring staff and external stakeholders that a business’s environmental impact is being measured and continually improved upon.
The certification is accessible to businesses in all sectors and requires organisations to consider all environmental issues relevant to its operations, such as air pollution, water and sewage issues, waste management, soil contamination, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and resource use and efficiency.
QED Environmental Systems’ recent changes to achieve ISO 14001 include carbon footprint offsetting, a switch to completely recyclable packaging, partnering with UPS for carbon-neutral shipping, and optimising electricity usage in the company’s European headquarters in Coventry, with the latter achieving an 8.34% reduction between 2021 and 2022.
Dean Kavanagh, Managing Director at QED Environmental Systems, said: “Through the collaborative efforts of our team, I’m happy to announce that the business is officially ISO 14001-certified. We see the certification as a culmination of our ongoing efforts to create a more environmentally friendly business operation, and we felt the positive impact of the changes to our day-to-day processes long before the full certification was achieved.
“Working towards ISO 14001 required us to take a granular view on our operations across all areas of the business. This meant developing a comprehensive understanding of our environmental impact in all areas – spanning manufacturing, transport, emergency procedures and more.”
QED’s ISO 14001 certification builds upon two other ISO certifications attained by the business, ISO 9001 for quality management, and ISO/IEC 17025 for testing and calibration.
Dean concluded: “We have always put stock in the value of ISO standards, as it allows us to demonstrate to our customers that we are able to deliver high-quality products in a sustainable manner. Achieving ISO 14001 is a significant landmark on our journey to becoming a net zero business, and we will continue to strive to provide the best for both our customers and the planet.”

email: Blackline Safety expands manufacturing
capacity to meet growing customer demand With global demand for its highly successful connected safety wearables at an all-time high, Blackline Safety Corp. has announced that it has expanded its manufacturing capacity at its Calgary, Alberta headquarters. The expansion, which is poised to increase Blackline’s production capacity by 30 to 50%, was achieved by repurposing the company’s existing space.

The announcement comes on the heels of a milestone year that saw the company’s global customer base climb to 1,800, with 150,000 workers protected by the company’s game-changing safety wearables across North America, Europe, Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
Over the last year, global demand for Blackline’s real- time connected safety technology grew an average of 30%, while product rentals rose 214% and the company’s cartridge line saw 165% growth.
“Amid the rising demand for our products, the expansion enables us to assemble increased volumes of products onsite and maintain Blackline’s industry-best lead times for order fulfillment,” said Kevin Meyers, Blackline Safety COO. “Our customers depend on Blackline to keep their workers safe, and we are committed to ensuring product availability and reliability to meet the needs of our growing user base as we transform the industrial workplace through state-of-the-art technology.”
Blackline’s expanded manufacturing area now spans more than 11,850 square feet on the main floor of its headquarters – a 49% increase in space. The repurposing was made possible due to space being freed up as a result of more employees choosing a hybrid work model, and by moving the company’s development facilities to the building’s second floor.
Blackline’s breakthrough technology is cloud-based, featuring GPS-enabled safety sensors and devices that leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to connect workers to live monitoring. The platform includes high-performance emergency response and evacuation management capabilities as well as contract tracing. It connects employees with software that pinpoints their location, enables back- and-forth information sharing and collects vital data, making it possible to detect the exact location of a gas leak or determine how often workers are travelling through high-risk areas. The company’s wearables are offered in two robust models — one connected via a cellular network and another via satellite.
