As one of the UK's largest and oldest established professional AV companies, we are committed to a stringent policy of providing and maintaining safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and safe systems of work for all employees. As far as is reasonably practicable, we also accept responsibility for the Health and Safety of other people who may be affected by our activities.

From board directors down to the newest recruit, all staff are required to be completely familiar with, and adhere to, all procedures of the Health and Safety System and to co-operate with all company appointed staff in the execution of their statutory Health and Safety responsibilities.

This policy is regularly monitored, by promoting a culture of continuous improvement through risk assessment and staff training. Full details are contained in the company's Health & Safety manuals and reviewed annually.

Quality

Our aim is to deliver the highest possible quality products and services that meet or exceed our customers' expectations. Our Quality Management System is based a policy of continual improvement, through comprehensive quality processes that meet, as a minimum, the requirements of ISO 9001-2000 and are continually monitored for effectiveness.

 

ISO14001 is the international specification for an environmental management system (EMS), created to help organisations minimise how their operations negatively affect the environment. We actively embraced the challenge to reduce any such impacts by registering for and achieving ISO14001:2004 status in record time. Uniquely, Saville is the only AV supplier to have achieved this over our entire UK network of 15 branches and outlets. The company has also achieved the British Standard in Occupational Health & Safety BS-OHSAS18001:2007 across the network.
