To Whom It May Concern,
During 2004, Coca-Cola Amatil (Aust.) P/L (CCA) required a comprehensive, national, external audit of its OHSMS to AS4801, including identification of any legislative non-compliances. This requirement was put out to tender to a number of consultancy firms.
Compliance Experts were selected for this project, in response to a number of key factors:
- their ability to complete the auditing process within each state and business unit within very tight timeframes;
- their professional client service approach and auditing capabilities; and
- their reasonable consultancy fees.
Throughout the audit project the Compliance Experts consultants maintained constant contact with myself to update on project progress, and to report on initial findings allowing for effective coordination of the project and accurate updates for the CCA senior management team.
Management and employee representatives for the business who were approached and involved in this project provided positive feedback on the conduct of the Compliance Experts consultants during and after the audit, which is a credit to both Paul Molenaar and Tony Stephenson.
The professional manner in which they conducted themselves, and their ability to work within the constraints of the operation, ensured a successful outcome from the audits.
The return on investment to date from this project has been exceptional with the endorsement of additional OHS functional resources and restructures a significant shift in focus towards workplace health and safety by the senior management team, and the development of a clear and accountable OHS strategy for the future.
I can not thank Paul and Tony enough for their assistance in achieving our project aims, and would have no hesitation in recommending them for any future consultancy work.
Your sincerely,
National OHS Manager – CCA
