Rotec Hydraulics Achieves ISO 45001 Certification

Rotec Hydraulics Ltd, a leading provider of hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical engineering solutions, is proud to announce it has officially achieved the ISO 45001 certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management.

This globally recognised accreditation completes a ‘trio’ of ISO International Standards for Rotec, having already been awarded ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management). The achievement follows a rigorous independent audit process, demonstrating Rotec’s unwavering commitment to the highest global benchmarks for safety, quality, and sustainability.

Achieving ISO 45001 comes during a period of significant compliance success for Rotec, following the recent successful renewals of its JOSCAR and SafeContractor status. Together, these certifications provide a robust framework for Rotec’s operations across all industry sectors, including marine, aerospace, defence, and manufacturing.

Paul Prouse, Managing Director of Rotec Hydraulics, commented:

“Achieving ISO 45001, alongside our existing ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications, reflects our team’s commitment to hard work, high standards, and operational excellence. 

“These global certifications are a foundation for continuous improvement, sustainable development, and offers third-party assurance of operational integrity to our customers and partners. I wish to thank the entire Rotec team for their dedication to making this possible.”

Rotec Hydraulics Reinforces Commitment to Safety with Successful SafeContractor Renewal

Rotec Hydraulics Ltd, a leading specialist in fluid power and engineering solutions, is pleased to confirm it has successfully renewed its Alcumus SafeContractor accreditation. This achievement underscores the company’s commitment to the highest standards of health and safety.

SafeContractor is a market-leading third-party accreditation scheme that rigorously audits a company’s health and safety policies, procedures, and documentation. For Rotec, the renewal confirms that its safety management systems continue to meet—and exceed—the stringent “Core Criteria” required by the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP).

As a provider of complex hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical mechanical services, Rotec operates in high-risk environments ranging from aerospace and defence to marine and industrial sectors. Maintaining this accreditation provides clients with independent assurance that every project, from onsite installation to workshop repairs, is conducted under the strictest safety protocols.

“Successfully renewing our SafeContractor status is a testament to the hard work of our entire team. It demonstrates that we don’t just follow safety guidelines—we embed them into our daily culture,” commented Josie Chamberlain, Quality Systems Manager at Rotec Hydraulics. 

What SafeContractor Means to our Customers

SafeContractor is recognised by thousands of organisations across the UK as a benchmark for competence. By retaining this status, Rotec continues to offer several key benefits to its partners:

  • Risk Mitigation: Ensuring all onsite work complies with current Health & Safety legislation.

  • Operational Integrity: Validating that engineers are fully trained and competent in their specific fields.

  • Supply Chain Transparency: Simplifying the pre-qualification process for major clients in highly regulated industries.

This renewal joins an impressive suite of certifications held by Rotec, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and Cyber Essentials Plus. As a founding member of the BFPA and respected Parker Certified Hydraulic Technology Centre, Rotec continues to set the standard for quality and safety in the fluid power industry.

Approved Hose Assemblies Logo

We are proud to be a BFPA Approved Distributor and ‘Q’ Approved for hydraulic hose assemblies – an assurance of the highest standards in fluid power safety and quality.

What Does This Mean for You?

Choosing a ‘Q’ Approved supplier like Rotec Hydraulics over non-accredited providers delivers critical benefits for your operation:

  • Guaranteed Safety and Reliability: Our accreditation assures you that every hose assembly is built to an industry-agreed, rigorously audited standard. This significantly reduces the risk of hose failure, injury, and dangerous fluid injection.

 

  • Highly Trained & Certified Technicians: All our hose technicians are trained and certified to the BFPA industry standard, ensuring a professional understanding of hose technology and best practice assembly techniques.

 

  • Eliminating Dangerous Practices: We are strictly audited to never partake in hazardous practices such as:

    • Mixing and Matching components from different manufacturers, which can compromise the integrity and safety of the assembly.

    • Re-ending used hose assemblies, a false economy that dramatically increases the risk of failure.

 

  • Reduced Downtime and Increased Efficiency: Quality products and expert assembly mean less unexpected failure, less downtime for your machinery, and greater productivity for your business. The ‘Q’ stands for Quality, Efficiency, and Safety.

 

  • Commitment to Best Practice: Our facilities, equipment (including swaging machines and test rigs), and stock management are subject to detailed bi-annual technical audits by the BFPA. This ensures continuous adherence to the highest operational standards.
