Health and Safety
SAFEcontractor - The Health and Safety Assessment Scheme
The company's application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
Steve Goben, Managing Director at FireSafety International said, "Working to attain such high standards to become approved by SAFEcontractor has helped us to pay attention to detail, become more organised and focused as a team and think about our roles and the impact our health and safety procedures and efficiency has on our company."
"It is important for our existing customers and prospective clients to see us proactively improving the way we work and reaching a higher level of standard. Our certificate is proudly displayed next to our quality policy in the office and a new page created on our website with the SAFEcontractor logo inserted."
SAFEcontractor accreditation is expected to enhance the company's ability to attract new contracts and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.
John Kinge, Head of Risk at SAFEcontractor said, "Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies"
"More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that FireSafety International has done. The firm's high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector."
Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process, which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice.
Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via the website, www.safecontractor.com
Employer organizations who sign up to the scheme can access the database, which enables them to vet potential contractors before they even set foot on site. These employers agree that, as users of the scheme, they will engage only those who have received accreditation.
Over one hundred and twenty four major nation-wide businesses, from several key sectors, have signed up to use the scheme when selecting contractors for services such as building, cleaning, maintenance, refurbishment or electrical and mechanical work.
