We are very pleased to provide you with quarterly updates on what’s happening with us, here at AvISO, but also to provide you with any relevant news and updates in the industry as a whole.
Firstly, what have we been up to here at AvISO?
Legal Registers
We have decided to publish the vast majority of our Legal Registers on our website, free of charge. We believe this will be a fantastic resource for many, including clients and consultants, and as far as we’re aware, no one else in the UK provides this information as a public resource.
We have broken the Legal Registers down into six key areas:
Each item of Legislation has it own page including a Summary of Evidence Requirements and links to further reading. We hope these resources will be a great resource for anyone involved in ISO Standards and compliance as a whole. Please do follow the links provided to take a look, and if you have any feedback, we’d love to hear from you. Please do bear in mind this is not a finished piece of work, and we will continue to update and add further Legislation when necessary. Also, coming soon, we will be providing the Legal Register for ISO 50001 Energy.
ISOvA
You may have noticed recently that the team’s email signatures have changed to show that AvISO is in association with ISOvA.
But what is ISOvA?
Paul and colleagues have set up this new business which supports the implementation and maintenance of ISO Standards using cloud-based technology. The ISOvA Integrated Management System (IMS Toolbox) is designed to reduce the effort and cost of complying to ISO standards by providing a cloud-based integrated management system at an affordable monthly subscription with an easy-to-follow online platform powered by Microsoft 365 Teams.
Training Courses
We have recently launched our ISO Training courses called Toolbox Talks.
We offer three levels of Toolbox Talks which can cover ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and Internal Audit training. These are short one-to-one training courses about ISO Management Systems and best practices. The courses are live and are held by one of our experienced consultants, last approximately 1 hour and cost just £60 per Toolbox Talks plus £20 per additional attendee. As well as following a planned format we can also help with any individual queries or concerns such as addressing non-conformities to assist with closing these out alongside showing the purpose, essentials, and best practices of ISO Standards.
Staff Training
With this year being unlike any other, we found ourselves with some additional time on our hands due to the first Covid-19 lockdown and some of our clients having to temporarily put projects on hold. However, we didn’t sit on our laurels!
