Water chiller service and maintenance specialist, Coolmation Service Ltd, a Coolmation Group Company, has joined a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record. The company has recently been awarded accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises high standards of health and safety practice amongst
Martin Poyner, service director of Coolmation, explains “SAFEcontractor accreditation is an important endorsement for our business. It will help us win new contracts and ensure that our commitment to the highest standards of safety will be viewed positively by insurers when the company liability policy is due for renewal.”
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 particularly relevant to food manufacture, property, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are big users of contract services.
James Ostler, managing director of Information Service at National Britannia said, “Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who do not have proven sound health and safety policies. More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Coolmation Service has done.”
Under the SAFEcontractor system businesses undergo avetting process that 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 via www.safecontractor.com
