Top Safety Accreditation for Seaholme Marquees Ltd

Seaholme Marquees is one of the latest in a group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.
 
ALBOURNE, U.K. - Feb. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- The Sussex-based firm recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practises amongst UK contractors.

Employing six staff during the winter months and up to 12 people during the summer months, Seaholme Marquees specialise in the private and corporate sector as well as commercial interests with recent clients including major players such as Sainsburys Supermarket and Brighton & Hove City Council.

The company’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

David Coleman, owner and director of Seaholme Marquees, states “We are very proud to have gained the SAFEcontractor accreditation, and will continue to strive for the highest standards of quality and safety as we progress into the new year.”

SAFEcontractor accreditation is expected to enhance the company’s ability to attract new contracts and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

SAFEcontractor 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.

John Kinge, Head of Risk at SAFEcontractor 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 Seaholme Marquees has done. The firm’s high standard 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 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 only via a website, www.safecontractor.com

Employer-organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the database, enabling 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 one hundred and fifty major nation-wide businesses, from several key sectors, have signed up to use the scheme when selecting contractors for services such as building, cleaning, maintenance, refurbishment or electrical and mechanical work.
