SafeContractor

SafeContractor is a leading Accreditation Scheme that is proving ever more popular with main contractors who want to assure themselves of the health and safety compliance of their sub-contract companies. Many companies are now insisting that their suppliers and sub-contractors be accredited before they contract with them.

To the inexperienced business, the SafeContractor accreditation process looks like a lengthy bureaucratic process, to us it is just a series of actions that do not faze us at all. The key is in giving the administrators what they want first time, with evidence to back up your claims, to avoid any rejections.

What is the SafeContractor Accreditation?

SafeContractor is one of the UK’S leading Health and Safety assessment schemes which aims to ensure that businesses are compliant with latest legislation revolving around Health & Safety, Ethical Behaviour and Sustainability.

What does SafeContractor Approved mean?

The SafeContractor approved status lets other know that your business has proved itself to be responsible and aware of current health and safety legislation which ensures risks and assessments are handled in the best and most modern way.

Our Service & Promise

Fixed Fee Service

With our help and guidance, and for a fixed fee (irrespective of how many submissions your paperwork may take) we will assist you in the accreditation process, enabling you to focus on doing what you do best, running your own business.

A Dedicated, Qualified Health & Safety Administrator

A dedicated member of our team will liaise with you to discuss your existing health and safety systems and then get to work on the application.

The chances are that you probably have a lot of systems in place already but perhaps haven’t written them down formally. What we’ll do is put together a tangible application that allows you to demonstrate this to the assessor, which will then help lead to your accreditation.

Money Back Guarantee

In the unlikely event you do not achieve accreditation, provided you have followed all our advice, implemented the systems, and returned the required evidence, then we will fully refund the monies paid to us.

Note – Accreditation body fees are payable directly to them and are in addition to this and so are not refundable.
