Frank Davidson

Head of SHEQ

See more about Frank
Frank’s role within the company has changed over the years since he started at the beginning of 2015 as the safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) officer. This was a new role within the company and was created to maintain and improve the current systems that were in place, which at the time were handled by an external consultant.

He was made Head of SHEQ in 2018, and part of his new role now includes ensuring that all our accreditations – of which there are many – include the three ISO standards iso 9001, 14001 and 45001. These externally certified standards form the backbone of everything the company do concerning quality management, environmental management and the management of occupational health and safety.

Part of Frank’s role is to ensure the same standards are mirrored across Kishorn Port & Dry Dock (KPL) as well as maintaining the KPL waste management licence (WML) The Naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) Permit and now the approvals of both the UK and the EU for ship recycling.

His ability to communicate with all levels of the company and client base and always maintain a professional, approachable demeanour has established him as a valuable member of the team.

Frank feels that being a part of a team, that genuinely wants to do its best so the company can succeed in achieving its goals and objectives, is the most enjoyable part of working at Ferguson Transport & Shipping.
