Accreditation

SafeContractor

SafeContractor is a leading Accreditation Scheme that is proving ever more popular with main contractors who want to assure themselves of the health and safety compliance of their sub-contract companies. Many companies are now insisting that their suppliers and sub-contractors be accredited before they contract with them.
To the inexperienced business, the SafeContractor accreditation process looks like a lengthy bureaucratic process, to us it is just a series of actions that do not faze us at all. The key is in giving the administrators what they want first time, with evidence to back up your claims, to avoid any rejections.
