All members of staff are required to be fully conversant with the quality system and the associated procedures and instructions relevant to their work and to be responsible for the quality of all work they produce.
This policy is used to clearly communicate our attitude with regard to quality and recognises that this commitment is essential to the long-term success of PMMRAC with regard to our competitive position, our reputation, our Clients, and our people.
