Air filter manufacturer and distributor Camfil, of Lancashire, UK, have achieved SAFEcontractor status, a leading edge scheme designed to help industry improve its safety record.
The company's SAFEcontractor application was driven by its need for a uniform standard across the business.
Camfil managing director Bill Wilkinson said: “The progressive development over many years has resulted in the business offering more diverse solutions to its clients. SAFEcontractor accreditation will enhance our ability to offer these services and our in house production processes with a commitment to safety.“
SAFEcontractor is operated by international safety health and environmental risk management specialists, the National Britannia Group. The system is applicable to most sectors although it is particularly relevant to facilities management, food manufacture, property, retail and leisure sectors, all of which Camfil Limited operate within.
Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process, which examines Health and Safety procedures and their track record for safe practices.
Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via the website (www.safecontractor.com).
