Intertek Metoc achieves level 4 certification on the Safety Culture Ladder
30 Jul 2025
Reinforcing Intertek Metoc’s commitment to helping clients safely deliver complex and sustainability-focused projects
Liphook, UK: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is pleased to announce that Intertek Metoc has been certified to level 4 (Proactive) on the Safety Culture Ladder, demonstrating its strong commitment to a proactive and engaged safety culture across its in-office and offshore operations.
Intertek Metoc provides trusted technical and consultancy solutions to clients in the energy and water sectors, helping them to secure compliance, reduce costs and manage risks.
The Safety Culture Ladder, developed by NEN, the Royal Netherlands Standardisation Institute, is a recognised framework that assesses the maturity of an organisation’s safety culture, ranging from reactive to progressive. Achieving level 4 signifies that Intertek Metoc not only meets regulatory safety requirements but also actively anticipates and mitigates risks through continuous improvement and employee involvement.
Intertek Metoc achieved level 3 certification in 2022 to support its consultancy and client representation activities such as surveys, operation and maintenance services, as well as subsea cable installation and repairs for offshore clients in NW Europe. This latest step-up comes after Intertek Metoc set the strategic goal of achieving level 4 by the time of the next re-certification.
Noted in the recent audit report [published by NEN], Intertek ‘demonstrates a well-rounded, embedded safety culture characterized by leadership commitment, transparent communication, personal wellbeing support, and the integration of safety into daily practices and structures. These cultural elements indicate that safety is not only prioritized but actively lived within the organization.’
"This achievement reflects the dedication of our teams to embed safety into every aspect of our work," said Dr Andrew Page, Site Characterisation and Engineering Lead at Intertek Metoc. "We are proud to be recognised for our proactive approach and will continue to lead by example in promoting a culture where safety is a shared responsibility with our clients and other stakeholders."
