Customer feedback
We are very satisfied with your service. Professional, very efficient, excellent customer service.
I have a medium-sized cleaning company and have had a service contract with Nord HMS AS for a year. I am very very very satisfied with their service. Professional, very efficient, reliable, polite, excellent customer service. In 2023, the Norwegian Labour Inspectorate inspected my company twice, and both times I received great and very efficient support from Nord HMS staff, so I passed the inspection with less stress, knowing that they support me. By the way, everything related to Nord HMS's work was rated as excellent by the Labour Inspectorate.
Another very important thing is that I can get all the help I need in my mother tongue, Lithuanian. This is important. I recommend this company to all Lithuanians doing business in Norway, all foreigners and Norwegians doing business in Norway.
I chose Nord HMS because of a recommendation from colleagues. It is very important to be able to communicate and receive important information in my mother tongue and avoid misunderstandings and ambiguities.
Nord HMS AS organised our chemical inventory, ensured that HMS complied with Norwegian legislation and carried out a risk assessment. They provided professional legal support in dealing with Arbeidstilsynet and Skatteetaten. We avoided financial losses - the company's operations were not suspended and we met the requirements. Even in personal matters, I got the help I needed.
We would not have been able to cope on our own because of the language barrier alone, and it is impossible to know the full legal framework. It is much more efficient to seek help from experts in the field.
Employers must ensure that the workplace is safe and does not harm people's health. Nord HMS has helped us to change the way we look at workplace safety requirements. We choose a responsible approach! We comply with the requirements and cooperate with the responsible authorities.
I can highly recommend Nord HMS because they helped me solve my problems.
I like the fact that you have an online system where I can log in and read up on the health and safety rules; if anything is unclear, you reply and always respond promptly and quickly.
We needed all workers to have access to workplace safety rules in their own language, which was a problem for us before, and you solved it.
3 benefits: systematic presentation of the rules, speed and clarity.
Our company needed an HMS system. We were looking for a company that could help us. We found out that NORD HMS provides these services and many others in Lithuanian. It was very convenient for us, so we started cooperation with NORD HMS.
We also received help from Nord HMS specialists when we had to deal with the Labour Inspectorate. They were inspecting the client's construction site and at the same time they were inspecting our work. They found irregularities. Because we did not understand what the Labour Inspectorate was asking us to do, we were not able to respond to them in time. Later we went to the inspector ourselves and communicated directly, thinking that the problems could be solved verbally. However, we were unpleasantly surprised when, after the conversation, we received an instruction from the Labour Inspectorate that failure to submit the missing documents would result in the suspension of the company's activities. We realised that we needed specialist help and immediately turned to NORD HMS, who were very prompt and very professional in resolving the situation: they explained the requirements, the law and the occupational health and safety regulations in force, and helped us to prepare the necessary documentation. We have been working with this company for three years now, improving the competence of our employees and solving work safety challenges in the company and on the construction site. We are very satisfied with Nord HMS services and would recommend them to others!
We started working with Nord HMS after a recommendation from colleagues. After the Arbeidstilsynet check, we had to complete certain formalities. I have only been working in Norway for one year, so there are a lot of things I don't know or understand. This company was just what I needed.
Nord HMS specialists provided a list of documents to be prepared, answered questions from the labour inspectorate, and took an interest in the process and conscientiously followed its progress. I can safely say that they are experts in their field! Our company's expectations were met. Nord HMS helped us to obtain the necessary permits and organised the necessary seminar to ensure that the same situation would not happen again during the next inspection. In addition to all this, we had a real financial benefit: ZJ BYGG AS was fined NOK 10,000 by the Labour Inspectorate for using faulty scaffolding. Thanks to Nord HMS specialists, this fine was cancelled, but most importantly, we now have a good relationship with the labour inspectorate!
I can confidently recommend NORD HMS, a company that knows how to help and most importantly at an affordable price!
Good afternoon,
We are very satisfied with our cooperation with your company. We particularly appreciate the quick response and professional approach - we can always count on prompt assistance.
Thanks to your help, our employees have the opportunity to attend HMS (Health, Environment and Safety) courses, which makes our daily work much easier. Recently, we have particularly appreciated your help in organising the A13 course certificates - everything went smoothly and without any problems.
Communication with your team is always fast and specific, so we feel safe and know we can rely on your help.
We are happy to recommend cooperation with your company.
The Nord Hms team is always professional, flexible and quick to respond to our needs. We particularly appreciate your open communication, ability to offer practical solutions and reliability.
With your help, we were able to resolve the safety compliance issues.
I am very satisfied with Nord HMS's service. Competent and qualified professionals. They even sacrificed their Sunday, flying 2000 km to help me solve my problems. Many thanks to Audrius Uselius.
I would like to thank you for a very good and pleasant cooperation.
I highly appreciate NordHMS for its reliability, punctuality, helpfulness and extremely fast and pleasant communication.
Working with you on the HMS system is much easier and faster, and I can 'delegate' a lot of my responsibilities to you, which saves me time and reduces my workload.
Using NordHMS services gives me more time for myself/company, a well-maintained HMS system, and completed courses and training in HMS.
The most important thing for me is your help in training and in the management of the HMS system, which I think you are doing very well. I certainly could not have done it so well myself!
Our company has been working with Nord HMS for a number of years and we can definitely recommend them. I can tell you from experience that we really do have safety at work - it is not just a formality.
We have had a number of tricky situations where they have been very helpful and have given us the knowledge to avoid them in the future. They answer all questions quickly and clearly and their courses are useful and relevant.
I am very pleased. When I was facing an inspection by a Norwegian authority, Nord HMS arranged all the paperwork and training on the same day I contacted them! Very professional and friendly service – all in Polish. I highly recommend them!
We started working with Nord HMS after a recommendation and we were not wrong in our trust. A huge plus - the service is in Lithuanian, understandable and clear.
Nord HMS helped us to organise the HMS system and ensure the health and safety of our employees, in compliance with the requirements. The manager is responsible for the health and safety of the employees - his main task is to comply with the safety requirements, but it is not always clear what those requirements are, especially in a foreign country. That's where professional help comes in handy! Working with NORD HMS we feel safe and calm because we get help and answers to our questions.
When we faced Arbeidstilsynet, we were threatened with a fine and the closure of the construction site due to improperly constructed scaffolding. Nord HMS helped us to rectify these deficiencies promptly and professionally, to ensure that we work safely, comply with the requirements, and most importantly, we are committed to rectifying the deficiencies immediately. The financial benefits for the company were savings of around NOK 50,000 and avoided downtime due to the timely and appropriate response.
These are professionals who know their job and are responsible! Don't be afraid to ask for help.
