Enviro Waste Management has been granted accreditation by Alcumus SafeContractor, highlighting the company’s strong focus on workplace safety and responsible operational practices.
The Alcumus SafeContractor scheme is one of the UK’s leading contractor certification programmes, acknowledging businesses that maintain rigorous health and safety procedures. Thousands of organisations rely on the scheme, ranging from SMEs to major FTSE 100 companies.
Operating in the waste management sector, Enviro Waste Management employs a team of 12 and delivers waste disposal services across London.
The company sought SafeContractor approval to establish a consistent and recognised safety framework throughout its activities. Securing the accreditation is also expected to strengthen the firm’s position when pursuing new contracts, while its dedication to safety is likely to be positively regarded by insurers when reviewing liability cover.
Gemma Archibald, Divisional CEO of Alcumus SafeContractor said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place.”
“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Enviro Waste Management has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeContractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the approval process.”
John Kinful, Operations Manager at Enviro Waste Management said: “Health and safety is our foremost priority in every job we undertake. The moment our teams arrive on site, they are briefed on the safety measures required to minimise risk, and every labourer is fully equipped with the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before work begins. Achieving SafeContractor certification recognises the standards we uphold every day to protect our employees and everyone working around us.”
