Wall to Wall gain SAFEcontractor accreditation
27 April 2010
Wall to Wall Communications have gained accreditaion to SAFEcontractor, a leading health and safety pre-qualification assessment scheme dedicated to tailored health and safety assessments for all professions and sectors.
Wall to Wall Communications' application for SAFEcontractor was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. “We have noticed an increasing demand for the SAFEcontractor accreditation in our work with construction companies in particular. The opportunity to be assessed on our health and safety competency is one which we welcomed and the consultation period with SAFEcontractor coincided with our own policy renewals.
We are immensely proud of our ISO 9001:2008 accreditation which is now complimented with SAFEcontractor approval. Whilst we have always prided ourselves on a high standard of health and safety and business practice it is extremely gratifying to have these standards accredited by such reputable organisations as ISO and SAFEContractor.
After more than thirty years of trading, we very much hope this accreditation will aid our continued ambition to expand.” Barbara Calvert, CEO, Wall to Wall Communications Ltd. 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.
SAFEcontractor is applicable to most sectors although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, construction, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are big users of radio communications services. Darran Hughes; Operations director of 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 Wall to Wall Communications Ltd has done. The firm’s high standard had 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 SAFEcontractor website, www.safecontractor.com. Employer-organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the database of approved contractors, 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 with those who have received accreditation.
The database of all approved contractors is accessible free of charge to non-members too. Allowing anyone to view all SAFEcontractor approved companies and their contact details. Over one hundred and twenty 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.
