Top safety accreditation for Dale Power Solutions
December 2005
Dale Power Solutions plc is one of the latest group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.
The Yorkshire based firm recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors.
Dale is principally involved in the upgrade and maintenance of generating set power systems.
Specialising in the Telecom, Hospital, Financial and Utilities industries Dale's most recent clients have included major players Kodak, Interserve, Dalkia and Emcor.
The company's application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
SAFEcontractor is operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialists, 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.
Under the scheme 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.
