We have received our Acceditation Certificate today and are very pleased to announce that we have been successful in joining this leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.

The SAFEcontractor programme recognises very high standards of health & safety practise amongst UK contractors.

Shipshape decided to start working towards achieving this award this summer, due to our ongoing hardwork at Shipshape with health & safety practices and procedures. 

We use an external health & safety company to write any health & safety documentation we need, which is reviewed regularly and specific to our contracts.  We also commit to full induction training for all our employees and we review staff training on a regular basis.

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 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.

Under the SAFEcontractor system, we went through a thorough vetting process, which examined our health & safety procedures and our track record for safe practice.  

Having passed this process, we are very pleased to make this announcement.
