G4S Security Systems Announced today that it had been awarded SafeContractor Accreditation.
The SafeContractor Scheme is a major new initiative that works to the benefit
of both contractor and client. Under current legislation a client has a legal
obligation to ensure the safety of contractors working on their site.
There is therefore a need to assess contractors health & safety arrangements
before allowing them to work on a companies premises. This is a potentially time
consuming and costly process. To mitigate this potential expense, G4S Security Systems
has taken the initiative and become SafeContractor Approved in order to remove
this onerous process for our clients.
You can now rest assured that our health and safety standards are second to none,
ensuring that you can focus on your own business, whilst we can get on with securing
your business and premises without delay.
Already many large organisations (including Nestle, Debenhams, RBS, HSBC and Mowlem)
use the Safecontractor as their primary means of selecting contractors. Safecontractor
is effectively the clients approved contractor list.
In addition to being a SafeContractor approved company in both CCTV and Security
Systems, G4S Security Systems is also accredited with the ability to safely sub-contract
works if required. This ensures that not only are our employees covered by the
scheme, but also any sub-contractors that we may use in the course of a project
will also be covered by the scheme, ensuring you total peace of mind.
