We at Team HG! are delighted to announce that we have been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.
The company’s application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor accreditation will enhance the company’s ability to win new contracts, and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.
‘’This is a huge step in the right direction for us as a business. Not only does it underline the care we have for our employees at HG, but it also indicates to our customers that we have the right credentials for larger projects when health and safety is paramount’’ Said Lauren Siddons, Business Support Manager at Team HG!
Lauren continued, ‘’The process of the accreditation was completely faultless too. From start to finish the support we received was impeccable. Throughout the process there were many questions we had, and the auditors were on hand with their expertise and knowledge, helping us a lot when it came to the collation of evidence. Over the years, it’s been nice to get so much positive feedback for the work we have done but it feels good to give feedback like this back and Alcumus SafeContractor definitely deserve it.’’
With over 35,000 members, the SafeContractor scheme is one of the fastest growing schemes in the UK. Not only are you displaying a clear competency to new and existing clients, once you become a member, you no longer are required to complete multiple pre-qualification questionnaires, saving you both time and money.
Gemma Archibald, Divisional CEO of Alcumus Supply Chain Division said: “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 Team HG! has 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.”
