Dennis Eagle has been awarded ISO 45001 certification for its Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management systems, further strengthening its commitment to protecting employee wellbeing and maintaining the highest safety standards across its operations.
A globally recognised standard, ISO 45001 supports organisations in proactively identifying and managing risk, preventing work-related injuries and illnesses, and driving continuous improvement in overall safety performance. Following a comprehensive series of assessments over several months, both Dennis Eagle and its trading division, Terberg Matec UK, have achieved the internationally recognised certification.
This important milestone builds on Dennis Eagle’s existing ISO credentials. In 2023, the company achieved ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. Dennis Eagle undertook a rigorous, intensive and methodical approach to achieving ISO 45001 certification, led by Health and Safety Manager, Richard Young.
“Health and Safety has always been a top priority for our business — it’s embedded into everything we do.
“This certification formalises the strong standards we already have in place and provides a robust framework to sustain them. ISO 45001 brings greater consistency, accountability and a continued focus on proactive risk management. For our customers, it provides confidence that our business meets recognised international standards, not just in quality and environmental performance, but in health and safety, too.”

Dennis Eagle underwent rigorous assessments across its main manufacturing sites in Blackpool, Worksop, Warrington and Warwick to demonstrate compliance. Its Manchester Service Centre was also evaluated, serving as a benchmark for standardised procedures across all other Service Centres.
“Protecting our people isn’t just an aspiration,” continued Young. “It’s built into how we operate. Achieving ISO 45001 reflects the systems, standards and accountability we’ve put in place to ensure everyone goes home safe, every day. Driven by our four core pillars — Production, Quality, Health and Safety, and Environmental — we apply consistent standards across everything we do for our people, suppliers and customers. Achieving ISO 45001 is independent recognition that these standards are embedded in how we operate and is a milestone we’re exceptionally proud of.”
The audit was conducted by global assurance partner LRQA in two stages during the first quarter of 2026, following an initial assessment by Make UK, the recognised champion for UK manufacturing. Looking ahead, Dennis Eagle has established a comprehensive ISO 45001 roadmap to maintain momentum and drive continuous improvements in safety performance and risk management.
“We can’t rest on our laurels,” said Scott McKinlay, Lead Safety Coordinator at Dennis Eagle’s Warwick headquarters. “Even though we’ve met the standard for ISO 45001, there is always work to be done to keep the momentum going. We remain focused on continuously reviewing and improving our processes to ensure we build on this progress and maintain the highest possible standards across the business.”
