Ignition Risk Management
Ignition began in 1991 with two very clear goals. One goal was to address an urgent need for organisations to tighten their risk management procedures to protect against risk, liability and prosecution. The other was to improve standard of driving and save lives.
We’re already helping organisations keep their people, businesses and customers safe through our consultancy, on-road driver training, online risk assessments and licence checks and top insurers and intermediaries are already working with us to reduce their clients’ on-road risk.
Ignition takes health and safety very seriously and we have been awarded ISO 45001 Health and Safety registration by the British Standards Institute.
In addition, we have achieved registration to ISO 14001 Environmental Management system as recognition of our commitment to environmental improvement and sustainability.
These two standards together with our ISO 9001 Quality Management standard set us apart in the industry demonstrating our commitment to sound business management and providing external verification of our systems and sound management practice.
