Enviro Waste Management has received accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor in recognition of its commitment to maintaining robust health and safety standards in the workplace.
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading UK certification scheme designed to recognise contractors who demonstrate effective and responsible health and safety management. The programme is widely used by organisations nationwide, including SMEs and major FTSE 100 companies.
With a workforce of 12, Enviro Waste Management operates within the waste management industry and provides a comprehensive range of waste disposal services across London.
The company pursued SafeContractor certification to implement a clear and consistent safety standard across its operations. Achieving the accreditation is expected to help the business secure new contract opportunities, while its dedication to safe working practices may also be viewed positively by insurers when the company’s liability policy is reviewed.
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.”
