Antler Environmental operates under a fully integrated, third-party certified management system, independently audited and accredited to ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management). This system is integral to the way we operate, shaping our safety, environmental, reporting, and quality management processes across all contracts.
Our certifications are maintained through the following structured systems and operational practices:
ISO 9001 - Quality Management
• Scheduled Audits - Internal audits are conducted every six (6) months and external audits annually, ensuring
that our Quality Management System (QMS) remains robust and effective.
• Continuous Monitoring and Improvement - All processes are continually assessed, documented, and improved
to uphold compliance and drive better outcomes.
• Training and Competency Management - Staff qualifications, licences, and training records are systematically
maintained to ensure operational readiness at all times.
• Corrective Action Management - Any non-conformances identified during site inspections or audits are
addressed promptly through formal corrective action processes overseen by our Safety Officer.
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety
• Daily Risk Management - Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) are completed daily across all sites, complemented by
equipment pre-start inspections to ensure ongoing site safety.
• Oversight and Verification - Our Safety Officer and in-house mechanic independently review safety performance
and equipment compliance to maintain high standards.
• Worker Safety and Wellbeing - Comprehensive fatigue management measures are in place, and team members
are trained and empowered to pause works if unsafe conditions arise.
• Proactive Safety Culture - Regular tool-box meetings, site inspections, and open communication reinforce a
strong safety-first mindset across the workforce.
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
• Environmental Responsibility - A formally documented Environmental Management System guides our
environmental practices, supported by daily actions from all staff.
• Sustainability Integration - Environmental management principles are incorporated into planning, project
delivery, and decision-making processes.
• Impact Identification and Control - Environmental risks associated with our activities are systematically
identified, assessed, and managed according to established protocols.
• Compliance Assurance - Ongoing monitoring ensures that our operations align with all applicable Acts,
Regulations, Codes, and Standards.
• Training and Consultation - Information, training, and consultation processes ensure that all employees,
contractors, and visitors are aware of their environmental responsibilities.
• Incident Management and Reporting - Environmental incidents are investigated thoroughly, with outcomes used
to strengthen our systems and practices.
To further strengthen our environmental performance, Antler Enviromental has implemented sustainable practices across operations, including:
- Transitioning to paperless systems where feasible.
