Answers to the most common questions about our QHSE services, in Benin, the sub-region and France.
QHSE covers Quality, Hygiene & Health, Safety (and Security) and Environment (with Energy). A structured QHSE approach reduces accidents and their costs, secures your regulatory obligations and builds trust with clients and teams. IFECARM GROUP supports you from the initial audit to certification.
No. Our head office is in Cotonou (Benin) and we have a branch in France. We support companies in Benin, across West and Central Africa (Togo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Senegal, Gabon, Burkina Faso, Congo) as well as in France and Europe.
A certification project (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000 or 50001) usually takes 6 to 18 months depending on the organisation’s maturity. It starts with a gap analysis, then building the system, an internal audit and finally the certification audit by an accredited body.
Yes. We offer the complete security and safety agents pathway: SSIAP 1, 2 and 3, private security agent, airport and port security agents — pathways still rare in Benin, aligned with French frameworks. See the details in our training catalogue.
An ICPE (Facility Classified for Environmental Protection) is an installation whose activity poses environmental risks or nuisances; SEVESO sites are high major-accident-risk installations. Our CEO and experts lead these projects (hazard studies, operating permits, ATEX, emergency plans) on major industrial sites.
In Benin, the employer must report any workplace accident to the CNSS and the Labour Inspectorate within 48 working hours (Article 184 of the Labour Code). We help companies set up clear internal procedures to meet this deadline. See our dedicated article in the news section.
