SAFEContractor Accreditation

SAFEContractor Accreditation

 Uniter Group has achieved SAFEcontractor accreditation which illustrates the high levels of health and safety standards practiced across the organisation. This accreditation plays an important role in enabling Uniter, and all Group companies, to demonstrate a commitment to meeting all health and safety standards to new and existing clients operating in a wide range of market sectors.

 Uniter’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business and demonstrate that we take our health and safety responsibilities seriously. This substantiate Uniter’s legal & moral obligation to ensure that our resource both office based & technical support engineers are always operating in the safest way whilst on Uniter’s or customer premises.

 SAFEcontractor is the fastest growing health and safety accreditation scheme in the UK, with more than 140 major clients and almost 18,000 contractor members. With its growing profile in the UK, the scheme is now used by many large organisations as a way of obtaining competent contractors.

 According to Darren Hughes, Operations Director at National Britannia, the international safety, health and environmental risk management organisation that runs the SAFEcontractor scheme: “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. The high standard achieved by Uniter Group has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies in the same sector.”
