Quality Management and HSE
aprentas delivers high-quality services to provide the best possible benefit to its customers. The quality management system is a key instrument for focusing the core business on the needs of customers and other stakeholders. Company management and development is based on ISO 21001, a suitable and recognised management system. Promoting professionalism and an awareness of quality among all employees is, and remains, imperative for implementing the strategy and achieving the company’s goals.
For many years, aprentas has been a member of the ECO SWISS industry solution from the Federal Coordination Commission for Occupational Safety (FCOS). ECO SWISS is the organisation for environmental protection, occupational safety and health protection in the Swiss economy. Among other things, it is a strong advocate of matters related to SMEs that work in the area of chemical processing and biotechnology companies, and offers a platform and network for companies and associations to tackle tasks together and find solutions.
In spring 2000, the laboratory training, vocational training school and further training were certified for the first time for the internationally recognised quality and management system norm ISO 9001. In May 2005, aprentas as an institution received the certification for ISO 9001, which has been continually renewed ever since. In 2023 aprentas switched to the new norm ISO 21001, which is regarded as the ‘ISO of education’. In 2026 aprentas has been successfully recertified according to ISO 21001.
