successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to
help industry improve its safety record.
We recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a
programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety
practise amongst UK contractors.
Specialising in the construction and engineering industries and
with a £1 million turnover, Tilson’s most recent clients have
included major players such as Elite Homes Ltd, Geo Houlton &
Sons Ltd, Hobson & Porter Ltd, John Thompson Developments Ltd,
Robinson & Sawdon Ltd and Westbridge Homes Ltd.
The company’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was
driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

SAFEcontractor accreditation is expected to enhance the
company’s ability to attract new contracts and its commitment to
safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company
liability policy is up for renewal.
Safecontractor is operated by international safety, health and
environmental risk management specialists and the National
Britannia Group. The system is applicable to most sectors although
it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, property,
facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are
big users of contract services.
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 Tilson has done. The firms’
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 their
track record for safe practice.
Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a
database, which is accessible to registered users only via a
website, www.safecontractor.com.
Employer-organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the
database, which enables them to vet potential contractors before
they even set foot on site. These employers agree that, as users of
the scheme, they will engage only those who have received
accreditation.
Over eighty major nation-wide businesses, from several key
sectors, have signed up to use the scheme when selecting
contractors for services such as building, cleaning, maintenance,
refurbishment or electrical and mechanical work.
