We are proud to announce that ILS has been awarded one of the UK’s top safety accreditations.
Safecontractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors.
The company’s application for Safecontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
Managing Director, Denis Brett comments, “I am extremely pleased to announce that ILS has been awarded this accreditation and I strongly believe it can only strengthen our position within the market place. The Safecontractor accreditation will enhance the company’s ability to attract new contracts and our commitment to safety will be viewed positively by our insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal”.
Safecontractor is applicable to most sectors, although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, property, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are big users of contracted services.
Under the Safecontractor scheme, businesses undergo a vetting process which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting only the highest standards are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via a website.
Client-organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the database, enabling them 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 accreditation.
Over 210 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.
