We're pleased to announce that we have been awarded the following accreditations:-
SafeContractor
Constructionline
Chas
For our ongoing commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety allowing us to tender for larger contracts for local authorities and the NHS.
Our application for the accreditations was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business and to protect our employees and those of our customers when working on site.
These schemes are used by many large organisations as a way of identifying a suitable and competent contractor. With more than 210 major clients and over 20,000 contractor members
They are all leading third party accreditation schemes, which recognises high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors.
Large organisations cannot take the risk of employing a contractor that is unable to demonstrate a high standard of working. The accreditations will serve to reassure any new customers that we understand the importance and value of adopting good risk management strategy.
To qualify for the three seperate schemes, we underwent stringent vetting processes to examine our health and safety procedures and our track record for safe practice. We were able to pass this vetting process, meeting the high standard required to be included on a database of accredited contractors accessible to registered users only via their website
Organisations that sign up to the scheme can access the database to vet potential contractors before they even set foot on site. These clients agree that, as users of the scheme, they will engage only those who have received the SafeContractor, Construction line and Chas accreditation
We are pleased that as a result of being awarded this accreditation, we not only reassure existing customers, but will also have increased opportunities to work with new customers that find us on the database.
