SAFEContractor for 5th year

Vehicle lift specialist Stertil Koni is celebrating its achievement of SAFEContractor for five years in a row. The company has been granted full accreditation for the health and safety scheme, which assesses the competency of contractors, every year since 2005.

Many large organisations now use SAFEContractor as a primary means of selecting contractors, by searching its database of 'approved suppliers'.

With a legal obligation to ensure contractors operate safely, SAFEContractor offers companies a simple way to access a list of accredited firms.

Stertil's continued accreditation recognises its consistently high standards of health and safety. In support of its application, the company has to submit evidence of its safe working practices, including details of risk assessments and emergency procedures; health and safety training arrangements; details of equipment testing and maintenance; and procedures on implementation of policy and control of subcontractors.
