Enviro Waste Management has achieved accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor, recognising the company’s commitment to maintaining exceptional health and safety standards across its operations.
Alcumus SafeContractor is a widely respected certification scheme that assesses and recognises contractors who demonstrate strong health and safety management practices. The programme is used by thousands of organisations across the UK, including small and medium-sized enterprises as well as leading FTSE 100 companies.
The London-based waste management firm employs 12 staff and provides a range of waste disposal services throughout the capital.
The company applied for SafeContractor certification to ensure a consistent and recognised safety standard across all areas of the business. The accreditation is expected to support Enviro Waste Management in securing future contracts, while the company’s strong safety credentials are also likely to be viewed favourably by insurers during liability policy renewals.
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.”
