Safety accreditation scheme

27 February 2017

Hako machines has been awarded top safety accreditation Alcumus SafeContractor. This leading third party accreditation scheme recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.

Hako's application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor accreditation will enhance the company’s ability to win new contracts, and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

Gemma Archibald, director of Alcumus SafeContractor, said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place.

“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Hako Machines Ltd has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector.”
