The Achilles management system is a system that was established by OVAM (Flemish public institution). The certificate confirms that control measures are taken with regards to safety, health and impact on the environment when carrying out on-site soil remediation works.
This system requires contractors to apply procedures, measures and control mechanisms that systematically minimize risks and ensure that soil remediation works are carried out in a sustainable, transparent and regulatory-compliant manner.
The certificate confirms that control measures relating to safety, health and the environment are in place during the execution of on-site soil remediation works.
Why an Achilles certification?
Carrying out soil remediation works always involves risks for people and the environment.
As a contractor, you not only want to work in compliance with legislation, but also provide guarantees to clients, workers and the surrounding area. That is why the Achilles management system is the standard in Flanders.
With an Achilles certification, you demonstrate as a contractor that you:
- Work in compliance with legislation
The certification is mandatory for soil remediation works and proves that you meet the strictest requirements in terms of safety, health and environmental management. - Control risks
Through systematic risk analyses, site controls and audits, you minimize accidents, nuisance and environmental damage. - Build a professional relationship of trust
Clients, authorities and partners know that your company works reliably and with quality. This increases your chances in tenders and partnerships. - Benefit from a competitive advantage
Achilles is a recognized quality label: only certified contractors are allowed to carry out certain remediation works. - Structurally embed quality and safety
The management system enforces continuous improvement. This means your company becomes increasingly professional, efficient and safe.
In summary: with an Achilles certification, you prove as a contractor that you are a reliable, professional and sustainable partner for any soil remediation project.
