NEWS DSS RECOGNIZED AS TOP EHS


CONSULTING BRAND DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) has been ranked as the top EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) consulting brand for the second consecutive year according to a survey released in November by the independent research and consulting firm Verdantix.


The survey of more than 410 senior corporate EHS decision-makers from 35 countries gave DSS top marks for both preference and awareness among all EHS consulting brands.


Davide Vassallo, Global Managing Director of DuPont Sustainable Solutions said: “DuPont Sustainable Solutions is deeply grateful to receive this recognition again this year. Our commitment has always been to help our clients improve the safety and operational performance of their organisations, and the Verdantix survey confirms that our work is bringing value to the clients we partner with daily.”


According to the Verdantix Global EHS Leaders Survey 2018: EHS Consulting Brands, half of all respondents (52%) rank DSS the market-leading consultant for brand preference, up from 32% of respondents in last year’s survey. Exactly 38% consider DSS’ capabilities ‘strong’ - higher than any other EHS consultant in the market


SPANSET ACQUIRES STAKE IN


CORERFID SpanSet, a Swiss multinational which produces lifting and height safety products, has acquired a stake in Skelmersdale-based software firm CoreRFID. The deal will make CoreRFID the leading supplier of lifting inspection software systems worldwide.


CoreRFID’s CheckedOK solution helps companies to comply with the rules on safety and maintenance inspections. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are used to identify cranes, forklifts and other equipment in need of regular inspections while the software helps to ensure these are carried out and keeps track of the results.


SpanSet provides lifting, load control and height safety products and services from its bases in 14 countries worldwide. It has invested in CoreRFID via its UK subsidiary SpanSet UK, which is based in Middlewich and which now holds a 33% stake in the firm.


SpanSet UK Managing Director Pete Ward explained the company had recognised the need to incorporate an IT solution in its products. He said:

“Working with Core, an established provider of RFID and asset management software, proved to be very positive,” he said.


“As we progressed it became evident that our services committed SpanSet quite closely to CoreRFID and its technology. We also realised that our perspective from the end-users of lifting and height safety products meant that we were able to help Core develop its offer further.


“To secure such a positive partnership it seemed like an obvious step to invest in the company. The collaboration will assist Core’s international expansion through the world-wide SpanSet Group.


Munzi Ali, Managing Director of CoreRFID, said: “SpanSet has been a customer for many years. Meanwhile CoreRFID has set its sights on international opportunities, having dominated the UK and Ireland market for years.


“With SpanSet’s global presence and CoreRFID’s market leading technical solution, this partnership makes complete sense. Both companies will now work together to make the CheckedOK system a global brand.”
