Orion Electrotech Achieves RISQS Verification

Orion Electrotech is proud to be RISQS Verified, demonstrating our commitment to meeting the
rigorous standards required to support organisations operating within the UK rail industry supply chain.

The Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) is the recognised supplier assurance
scheme used across the UK rail sector. It provides a standardised way for buyers to assess suppliers against key
criteria including safety, quality, compliance, and operational capability.

By achieving RISQS verification, Orion Electrotech has undergone a detailed validation process confirming that our
business meets the requirements expected by organisations working within the rail industry.

What RISQS verification means

RISQS helps rail buyers identify qualified suppliers who meet the standards required to operate safely and
responsibly within the sector. Verification demonstrates that Orion Electrotech has been assessed against
recognised industry requirements and is registered as an approved supplier within the RISQS platform.

Our RISQS verification supports:

  • Compliance with recognised rail industry standards
  • Transparent supplier validation for rail procurement teams
  • Improved supply chain assurance and risk management
  • Efficient engagement with organisations operating across the rail network

Supporting the rail sector

Orion Electrotech provides specialist recruitment services to clients operating in engineering, infrastructure,
manufacturing, and construction environments, including those supporting the rail industry. Our RISQS verification
reinforces our ability to work with organisations within this highly regulated sector.

For clients, this verification provides confidence that Orion Electrotech operates in accordance with the
standards expected by the rail industry. For candidates and contractors, it reflects our commitment to responsible
recruitment and safe, compliant working practices.

Supply chain assurance

The rail industry places significant emphasis on safety, compliance, and supplier accountability. RISQS helps
ensure that organisations working within the rail supply chain meet these requirements through a structured
qualification and verification process.

Orion Electrotech’s RISQS verification helps streamline engagement with rail clients by providing a recognised
supplier profile within the RISQS system, making it easier for procurement teams to confirm our credentials.

Our ongoing commitment

Orion Electrotech remains committed to maintaining the standards expected within the rail industry and continuing
to improve our compliance, governance, and operational processes. RISQS verification forms part of our wider
commitment to responsible recruitment and supporting critical infrastructure sectors across the UK.
