Top Safety Accreditation for C H Beere & Son
C H Beere & Son is one of a group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve it's safety record.
We recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety amongst UK contractors.
SAFEcontractor is operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialists, the National Britannia Group. The system is applicable to most sectors although it is particulaly relevent to property and facilities management, retail, leisure and the food manufacture sectors.
James Ostler, Managing Director of Information Service at National Britannia 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 C H Beere & Son have done. The firms' high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within their sector".
Under the SAFEcontractor system we underwent a vetting process which examined our health and safety procedures and our track record of safe practice.
By meeting those high standards we have been included in a database, accessible to registered users, via a website,
www.safecontractor.com
Employer-organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the database, 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 those who have received accreditation.
Over eighty national business, from several key sectors, have signed up to use the scheme when selecting contractors for services such as building, refurbishment, electrical and mechanical work and, of course, painting and decorating!
