Top safety accreditation

Safecontractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors.

Employing 100 people, Joloda is principally involved in the materials handling sector, specialising in the manufacturing and installing of loading equipment for trucks and containers and with a £8million turnover. Joloda’s most recent clients have included major players such as Unilever, Britvic and Colgate.

The company’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 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 contracted services.
