Celebrating our SafeContractor Accreditation
Vertex Cleaning Solutions Achieve SafeContractor Accreditation
Vertex Cleaning Solutions Ltd has recently achieved the prestigious SafeContractor accreditation with a fantastic audit result and no non-conformities.
Staying compliant and ensuring that risks are controlled effectively is essential for all businesses in the UK. Contractors in various industries, including construction and property management, and local authorities are facing more and more responsibility for ensuring they comply with health and safety regulations. One of the mechanisms used is through schemes such as SafeContractor, ensuring company processes have been audited to comply with health and safety and UK law.
What is SafeContractor Accreditation?
SafeContractor is the leading health and safety assessment scheme in the UK. It provides contractors with an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to health and safety. Obtaining SafeContractor accreditation has several advantages for contractors and clients.
We Can Now use the SafeContractor Logo
Upon achieving the accreditation, Vertex Cleaning Solutions can now display the SafeContractor logo on our website and marketing materials.
Why We Pursued SafeContractor Accreditation
"As a company, we want to ensure that our health and safety and procurement processes are best in class. One of our strategic goals in 2023 was to achieve the SafeContractor accreditation to show our professionalism and commitment to health and safety and to set us apart from our competitors who are not accredited."
