Successful Confirmation of Excellence: Private Enterprise “Poltava Enterprise of Geophysical Operation” Passes Second IMS Surveillance Audit
Private Enterprise “Poltava Enterprise of Geophysical Operation” (PEGO) has officially confirmed the high efficiency and compliance of its Integrated Management System (IMS) with the requirements of key international standards. Following the results of the second surveillance audit conducted by an accredited certification body, the company has once again demonstrated its ability to achieve sustainable growth amidst modern challenges.
Key Standards and Scope of Audit
The Integrated Management System of PE “PEGO” covers three fundamental areas based on international standards:
- ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management System: Focused on customer orientation, process management, and consistent quality of products/services.
- ISO 14001:2015 — Environmental Management System: Aimed at minimizing environmental impact and ensuring rational use of resources.
- ISO 45001:2018 — Occupational Health and Safety Management System: Focused on creating safe working conditions and preventing occupational injuries.
Specifics of the Second Surveillance Audit
In accordance with international practice (ISO 19011), a surveillance audit is a mandatory annual stage of the three-year certification cycle. The second surveillance audit is critically important as it precedes the full recertification stage and demonstrates the system’s viability “in dynamics.”
During the on-site inspection, auditors focused on:
- Continual Improvement (PDCA Cycle): Evaluating how the company plans, implements, and adjusts its processes.
- Risk Management: Verifying the ability to identify and minimize potential threats to business and safety.
- Employee Engagement: Assessing the level of understanding of IMS goals by employees at all production levels.
Results and Benefits for PEGO
Based on the audit results, no critical non-conformities were identified. The auditors noted a high production culture and the effective integration of various standard procedures into a single management system.
Successful completion of the audit allows PEGO to:
- Strengthen the trust of international partners and clients.
- Ensure a competitive advantage when participating in tenders (both government and commercial).
- Optimize internal costs by reducing process duplication.
The enterprise continues its path of sustainable development, demonstrating that compliance with international standards is not merely a formality, but an effective tool for increasing business efficiency.
