To be a world-class quality maintenance solutions company of choice.
Not just Nigeria's best indigenous maintenance company — but a partner that any oil and gas operator, anywhere, would choose on technical merit, safety culture, and track record. World-class is not an aspiration. It is the standard we hold ourselves to on every project we execute.

Quality & compliance
Our certifications
| Certification | Scope | Status |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 9001:2015 | Quality Management System | Active |
| ISO 14001:2015 | Environmental Management System | Active |
| ISO 45001:2018 | Occupational Health & Safety Management System | Active |

All active certifications are maintained and audited annually.
ISO 17025:2017 accreditation is currently in progress.
What Each Standard Covers
ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management System
This is the backbone of how we operate. Every oil and gas maintenance project we deliver — whether it's flow measurement, catalyst handling, or valve maintenance and calibration — follows documented, controlled processes designed for consistency and zero rework.
ISO 14001:2015 — Environmental Management System
We operate in some of Nigeria's most sensitive environments — the Niger Delta, offshore platforms, and coastal terminals. This certification holds us accountable for how we manage waste, emissions, and environmental impact at every site.
ISO 45001:2018 — Occupational Health & Safety Management System
This certification governs how we protect people on every job — from pipeline construction sites to confined-space reactor catalyst handling operations. Hazard identification, risk management, and incident response are all systematised and audited.
ISO 17025:2017 — Laboratory Accreditation (In-View)
Our Instrumentation and Calibration Laboratory is on the path to ISO 17025 accreditation. This will independently certify the accuracy of our flow meter calibration, custody transfer metering, and fiscal metering results — giving clients measurement data they can stake revenue on.
Why This Matters to Our Clients
If you're a procurement officer or project manager evaluating vendors, here's what our certifications guarantee:
- Your project will follow defined, repeatable processes
- Our HSE standards meet the requirements for site access and contractor pre-qualification
- Environmental compliance is built into our operations, not bolted on after the fact
- Measurement and calibration results from our lab will be traceable and independently verified
- Audit documentation is available on request for your vendor qualification process

HSE Policy Statement
The Management of Cakasa Maintenance Service Limited believes that operational excellence is inseparable from the well-being of our people and the protection of our planet.
Our goal is simple: Zero Harm in our daily operations. To achieve this, we proactively identify risks, implement rigorous controls, and empower every individual on our sites with "Stop Work Authority" whenever conditions are deemed unsafe.
These principles are defined in our Integrated Management System (IMS) Policy, which combines Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) requirements to reinforce Management's expectations and commitment to the health and safety of personnel, the sustainability of the environment, and the quality of services we deliver to our customers.
Finally, continuous improvement remains the watchword of our operations, with the aim of sustaining our business activities in the most rewarding manner for all stakeholders.

CASHES Philosophy
At CMSL, HSE is expanded into a comprehensive CASHES framework, ensuring that our operations are carried out with due consideration for the communities in which we operate, as well as the health, safety, environment, and security of both our internal and external stakeholders, our employees, and our operations.
- Community Affairs: CMSL operates with mutually beneficial and transparent relationships with its host communities. We priorities local content and engage community stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle, beginning before project execution.
- Safety: At CMSL, our top priority is to eliminate hazards to prevent accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses through daily toolbox talks, mandatory Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), and robust Life-Saving Rules that every worker must follow.
- Health: We maintain programmes and procedures that safeguard the physical and mental well-being of our workforce through regular occupational health screenings, ergonomic assessments, and access to wellness and mental health support.
- Environment: CMSL operations are organised to minimise our ecological footprint and promote sustainability through strict waste segregation practices, spill prevention measures, including secondary containment systems, and the monitoring of energy efficiency metrics.
- Security: The protection of our personnel, assets, intellectual property, and data from external threats is embedded in our operations. As such, we enforce strict access-control policies across our facilities.
We maintain active engagement with relevant national security agencies and implement comprehensive journey management procedures for field teams and intra-city operations. These measures support our commitment to achieving the highest standards of security across all areas of our business.

This is evident from our employment status, both to our key personnel as well as the use of manpower in community areas where our projects are executed, and our overall Nigerian Content quantum value applied and achieved in all aspects of our business.
