Governance
NES Fircroft has dedicated compliance and risk personnel based in 6 locations: UK, USA, Australia, Malaysia, UAE, and Norway, our geographical spread ensures we fully understand the intricacies of regional legislation and can support our clients and contractors to ensure compliance and minimise risk wherever their project may be.
Compliance
NES Fircroft carries out monthly contractual compliance auditing and reporting, which means we can confidently claim to be contractually compliant in the month that the contractor is placed and using this approach we have maintained a staggering rate of over 99% compliance, month on month since 2015, which we believe is unsurpassed in the industry.
Quality
We use ISO9001 as the mechanism to assess the effectiveness of our systems and practices, and to verify that our compliance provisions have been met, continue to be achieved and are subject to review and improvement.
All aspects of business operations are audited for compliance with this standard and the requirements of the standard are transposed to our policy and operational practices. We originally achieved certification in 1994 and in 2018 we successfully achieved transition to the new ISO9001:2015 version. Our quality system serves to communicate expectations, establish controls and foster a culture of excellence. The certification covers the provision of staffing solutions to industry and professions.
