SAFEcontractor approved!
The sport and leisure facilities management specialist, Leisure Support Services is pleased to announce its accreditation to the SAFEcontractor scheme, a programme which recognises high standards of health and safety practice amongst contractors within the UK.
SAFEcontractor is operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialists, the National Britannia Group and under the scheme, businesses undergo a vetting process, which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice.
Darran Hughes, Operations Director for SAFEcontractor 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 Leisure Support Services has done. The firm's high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector".
Lucas Barclay, Head of Operations for Leisure Support Services said, "We are pleased to receive this accreditation as it acknowledges our continuing commitment to the health and safety of our staff and clients through implementing best practice at our customers' venues and events across the UK".
