Winterhalter UK's service division receives health and safety accreditation
Winterhalter UK's service division has received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practice among UK contractors.
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 SAFEcontractor standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users via the website www.safecontractor.com.
"Joining the SAFEcontractor scheme reflects our commitment to raising the standard of the service we supply, a key aspect of which is following the best possible health and safety procedures," said Paul Crowley, marketing manager of Winterhalter UK.
"We expect SAFEcontractor accreditation to enhance our ability to attract new contracts," he added.
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".
