Top Safety Accreditation for Barbour Fit Out Solutions
Barbour Fit Out Solutions is one of the latest group of companies to join this leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.
The SAFEcontractor programme recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors.
The company’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
Norman Barbour says “We are delighted in receiving the SAFEcontractor accreditation which again demonstrates our continued policy of providing a safe environment of working for our people.”
SAFEcontractor is operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialists, the National Britania 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 Services at National Britania said, “Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove they have sound health and safety policies. More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way Barbour Fit Out Solutions has done. The company’s high standards has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector.”
Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process, which exemplifies health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice.
