ISO Certifications

We hold the most current ISO certifications in Quality, Environment and Safety Management standards. By obtaining and maintaining ISO certification we are able to demonstrate to our customers and stakeholders that our business operates in accordance with internationally recognised standards, and that we have in place an effective system for consistently delivering high quality services.

HSE Management System

A robust HSE management system is vital for protecting employees, customers, and stakeholders. By using SkyTrust safety management software, Summit Tower Hire can identify and mitigate hazards, reducing the risk of injury, property, or environmental damage. This system improves efficiency, reduces downtime, and ensures positive business outcomes in any work environment.

SkyTrust, a cloud-based platform, supports incident reporting, risk assessment, safety audits, and compliance management. Its accessibility makes it ideal for our distributed teams and remote workers, helping us streamline safety programs, enhance compliance, and improve overall safety performance.

A strong safety management system fosters a positive safety culture at Summit Tower Hire, empowering employees to report hazards and prioritizing safety at all levels. Aligning our safety system with our safety culture creates a healthy work environment where hazards are proactively addressed, and safety incidents are minimized.

Environmental Sustainability

Summit Tower Hire has achieved ISO 14001 accreditation. We endeavour to operate as an environmentally sustainable company.

We demonstrate this in our continuous improvement initiatives and equipment improvement programs, along with reducing waste where possible at all times, conserving energy, using renewable resources and biodegradable products, and minimizing the impact of our actions on the environment.

By practicing environmental sustainability, Summit Tower Hire aims to reduce the negative impact of human activity on the environment, preserve natural habitats and ecosystems, and protect the health and well-being of all living things.

Quality Assurance

This certification is backed by a strong Quality Management Plan that is spearheaded by the Senior Management team and a dedicated QHSE Manager. The plan employs an integrated QHSE management system approach that consolidates all aspects of the business into a cohesive and streamlined system.
