SAFEContractor Accreditation

Stephen Metcalf Limited is one of the latest group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme designed to help the industry improve its safety record.

SAFEContractor accreditation is expected to enhance the company's ability to attract new contracts and its commitment to safety.

SAFEContractor is operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialists, the National Britannia Group.

James Ostler, Managing Director of Information Service at National Britannia, said 'Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound Health and Safety Policies. More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Stephen Metcalf Limited has done. The firm's high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector.'

Under the SAFEContractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process which examines health and safety procedures and thier track record for safe practice.
