Top Safety Accreditation for Deconstruct UK
Deconstruct UK awarded accreditation from safecontractor.
Deconstruct UK has been awarded accreditation from safecontractor for its commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety.
Safecontractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors.
Deconstruct specialise in all aspects of deconstruction, dismantling and demolition works, including asbestos management and asbestos abatement. The company’s application for safecontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
Managing Director, Ashley Griffiths said:
“We pride ourselves by operating an excellent health and safety, risk management strategy throughout the business. We set ourselves a very stringent safety approach which has been recognised by being awarded this top industry accreditation.”
Safecontractor accreditation will enhance Deconstruct’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 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."
He went onto say:
"More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Deconstruct 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.”
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 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.
Over one hundred and seventy 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.
