2017 has kicked off in grand style as T.R Bullworthy Ltd have once again been awarded a renewed accreditation from the Safecontractor scheme for its recognised commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety. The company’s application for Safecontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business and to showcase how committed the company is to upholding and adhering to the strict helath and safety guidelines.
Safecontractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors. Safecontractor accreditation will only 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, technical director of Safecontractor had this to say about T.R Bullworthy’s recent award.
Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place. More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that T.R Bullworthy have done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. Safecontractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process.
Under the Safecontractor scheme, businesses undergo a vigorous 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 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.
