We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been approved as a SafeContractor for the fifth year in a row.

What is SafeContractor?
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third-party health and safety assessment scheme initiated by the UK government under Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSiP). SSiP promotes a minimum standard of health and safety assessments and helps customers to identify which companies meet the UK’s rigorous health and safety requirements. The accreditation is a sign of professional and credible contractor business, and all listed businesses can be found by registered customers via the client web portal. For any customers who are not clients, further information can be found on the SafeContractor website.
How do you become SafeContractor approved?
To gain accreditation requires that we provide examples of all our health and safety paperwork to ensure it is up to date and meets legal industry requirements. This includes risk assessments, method statements, COSHH assessments and working at height, to name just a few!
SafeContractor is applicable to most sectors although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, due to the number of contracted services. The SafeContractor seal of approval means you can be sure that we’re doing all we can to adhere to the very highest standard of health and safety and legal compliance, providing you with peace of mind when our teams carry out work on your sites.
