What is the TQCSI QHSE Code?
TQCSI's QHSE Code is the first government recognised, publicly available standard, incorporating quality, health & safety and environmental management system requirements. THE QHSE Code was developed after consultation with many industry experts throughout the world and has been translated into various Asian languages.
The QHSE Code was mostly recently revised in March 2013. Companies who achieve certification against the Code will be better placed to meet customers’ expectations, meet their environmental and OHS responsibilities, and provide assurance their management system will protect employees, generate customer confidence and enhance business opportunities.
