Our services

We are your outsourced QHSE – CSR department

Four areas of expertise, plus a weekly regulatory watch. Take the area your site needs today — or all of it, under a single specification, as a one-off assignment or as year-round support.

Quality & performance

Putting the mandatory standards in place and renewing them, then keeping the quality approach alive day to day.

  • MASE: drafting and renewal audit for industry and construction
  • “Mock certifications”, full scale, before the real audit
  • Top 5, Top 15 and Top 30 quality meetings and the COPIL, COQUAL and CODIR committees
  • Planning, forward-look and performance analysis, and the Performance specification
  • ISO 9001
  • ISO 14001
  • ISO 26000
  • ISO 45001

Auditing the site to locate its strengths and its critical points, then installing the documents and routines that bring accidents down.

05 · Regulatory watch — administrative, regulatory, technical

A weekly watch, across the whole calendar year, on a digital platform: DREAL texts applicable to classified installations, technical HSE watch for your “Safety Moments”, legal watch on the CRAM and the labour inspectorate. So that your administrative, sales and technical teams have the information before the audit, not during it.

  • Weekly
  • Digital platform
  • DREAL
  • CRAM
  • Labour inspectorate

A specific need, or an ambitious challenge?

We are listening, and we will build the service around it with you. After certification we remain your outsourced quality department.

A · Quality & performance

Mandatory standards, quality routines, performance and forward planning.

  • ISO standards — implementation and management

    Baseline: ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment). Moving up: ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) and ISO 50001 (energy management).

    • Case 1 — you already hold ISO standards: a specification for the additional one or ones
    • Case 2 — you hold none: a full specification, starting from the principle of the standard itself
    • Support for every department, alongside site management and supervisors
    • A full-scale “mock certification” before the real audit
    • After certification we remain your outsourced quality department

    Deliverable: documented system, mock audit, action plan managed through to certification

    One of the oldest safety and environmental standards, born in the oil industry in 1970. Essential in industry and construction.

    • A specification site by site, company by company
    • Initial implementation or renewal audit
    • Day-to-day safety of workstations, in their real diversity
    • Mock certification, as for ISO

    Deliverable: MASE manual, specification per site, preparation for the certification audit

Where to start

Tell us your situation, not the service

Directors do not buy “some ISO 45001”. They have a client demanding a certificate, a formal notice on the desk, or a DREAL meeting in six weeks.

“A client demands certification.”

ISO or MASE: a schedule worked backwards from the audit date, and a call on what is genuinely required now.

“I have a formal notice from the DREAL.”

A technical and regulatory reply, then bringing the ICPE file — and the dialogue with the State services — back up to standard.

“My site is SEVESO classified and the annual meeting is coming.”

Annual report, preparation and support at the meeting with the DREAL, the prefecture, the fire service, the local authority and local groups.

“I want to become a supplier to a large group.”

End-to-end support for small and mid-sized companies seeking approval as suppliers to large industrial and Defence groups.

“My risk assessment is out of date.”

Mandatory from one employee since 2026 and to be revised every year: DUERP, PAP or PPSPS, presentation to the CSSCT and filing with the CRAM.

“I am buying a contaminated industrial site.”

A full HSE audit of soil and subsoil, then a remediation solution. We also work for local authorities, banks and funders.
