From Good to Great: Henderson Demolition Sets Sights on ISO 9001
Henderson Demolition is taking a significant step towards enhancing its quality management by pursuing ISO 9001 certification. This decision comes as part of our ongoing commitment to excellence and continuous improvement across all areas of our business. Currently, we are audited annually by Telarc, a JAS-ANZ accredited auditor, to ensure compliance with our existing certifications:
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety
AS/NZS 4801 – Health and Safety Management
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
These certifications undergo a full recertification process every three years, with our next cycle due in 2026. To keep all our certifications aligned and in phase, we are proactively working towards meeting the requirements of ISO 9001 – Quality Management System. We are also aiming to align our processes with the PRINCE2 project management methodology to further enhance our operational efficiency and project delivery.
Why ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for quality management systems. It provides a framework for organisations to deliver consistent quality, improve customer satisfaction, and optimise operational efficiency. For Henderson Demolition, gaining ISO 9001 certification means more than just a compliance check—it represents our dedication to quality, safety, and environmental responsibility in every project we undertake.
Aligning with PRINCE2 Project Management
Alongside ISO 9001, we are aligning our processes with PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments), a structured project management methodology widely recognised for its emphasis on control, efficiency, and quality outcomes. By integrating PRINCE2, we aim to standardise our project management practices, ensuring that each project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
