It is a key factor in securing major contracts, building trust, and delivering long-term value.<\/p>\n<p>Icomera\u2019s RISQS Journey<\/p>\n<p>Since first achieving certification in 2020, Icomera has committed to meeting and exceeding RISQS criteria year after year. The certification process examines all aspects of our operations, from health and safety practices to environmental responsibility, and requires the close collaboration of all teams within our UK operations.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining this accreditation is a company-wide effort, a reflection of the dedication and professionalism of our people.<\/p>\n<p>Helen Tanner, Quality Manager for the Rail Compliance Management System and Process Development Manager at Icomera, said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__quote-text\">I am so proud of our team&#8217;s commitment; our collective dedication has truly made a meaningful impact, enhancing our ability to collaborate and clearly reflecting our shared commitment. The investment of time, resources, and energy stands as a testament to that commitment. It also fuels our continuous learning, helps us refine our best practices, and further reinforces our engagement to the scheme, strengthening our ongoing knowledge for the safety of our employees, not only those in the field, but worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Kingsland, SVP UK at Icomera, said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__quote-text\">RISQS is a rigorous and detailed standard so this is a great achievement by the Icomera team.
