Top Safety Accreditation for Stayclean Window Cleaning

Stayclean Window Cleaning is one of the latest group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record. Accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors, was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

“With a major investment recently in new vehicles equipped with leading pure water Reach and Clean technology, Stayclean are in a strong position to fully satisfy Health & Safety Working at Height regulations. We remain focussed on total client satisfaction as being essential to drive our highly motivated team forward to even greater heights.” commented Tom Farr, Managing Director of Stayclean Window Cleaning Ltd.

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 operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialists, the National Britannia Group. James Ostler, Managing Director of Information Service at National Britannia said “Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies.  More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Stayclean Window Cleaning has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which, hopefully, will be followed by other companies within the sector.”

Under the SAFEcontractor system, 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. Employers in turn agree that, as users of the scheme, they will engage only those who have achieved accreditation.
