Landmark health and safety accreditation unites every brand and location under a single, certified standard.

The AER Rents Group – one of the UK and Ireland’s leading groups of independent hire and sales specialists has achieved ISO 45001:2018 certification across every business and all 26 depots. The result is a powerful, group-wide statement of commitment to the highest standards of occupational health and safety.

This achievement spans Mainline, Chippindale Hire & Sales, MPH Hire & Sales, Welfare 4 Hire, DHS Complete Hire and Hudson Lifting, reflecting a shared dedication to keeping people safe and building a unified safety-first culture.

“This is an incredible Group-wide milestone,” said Gavin Pitt, Group CEO. “We’ve always said we’re stronger together – and this certification proves it. ISO 45001 isn’t just about compliance; it’s about care, consistency and continuous improvement.”

ISO 45001 is the internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It helps businesses pro-actively improve safety performance, reduce risks and foster a safer working environment for employees, customers and contractors.

Joe Bryce, Group SHEQ Co-ordinator, added: “Every team, every depot, every colleague played their part. From formalising processes to embedding smarter, safer systems – this has been a true team effort.”

The certification was awarded following a rigorous audit and implementation programme, supported by NQA, a global certification body and recognised leader in management-system standards.

Scott Mulley, Managing Director of Mainline, commented: “For Mainline, ISO 45001 completes the picture alongside our existing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. It means our customers can count on quality, environmental stewardship and a proven, consistent safety standard.”

The certification reinforces AER Rents’ strengths not only in service and value, but in setting the gold standard for safe, responsible operations.
