SafeContractor welcomes all types of contractor to join the scheme, from asbestos removal to office cleaning.

We consider each contractor member individually considering the profession, industry sector, and business size.

If you have fewer than five employees you do not need to have a written health and safety policy, but you must be able to demonstrate an understanding of health and safety legislation and how it applies to your business.

SafeContractor has developed a questionnaire specifically for sole-traders and companies with five employees or less.

If you think this is applicable to your business please contact our helpline to discuss your individual business requirements.

At present there are over 35,000 members in the scheme.

Contractors that remain engaged with the accreditation process usually gain accreditation in less than two audits.

Members who do not remain engaged or keep their membership up to date will eventually fail.

SafeContractor’s aim is to work with all members to ensure they become accredited.

To help this process, every contractor is assigned an auditor who will work with them to make sure the necessary paperwork and documentation is complete.

The length of time required for the accreditation process depends on the contractor plan purchased and your response time and ability to provide the relevant documentation.

The speed of accreditation is dependent on the responsiveness of members.

If you require SafeContractor to take over the administration of your contractor assessment and provide access to a database of over 35,000 pre-vetted members for you to choose from, you can become a client of the SafeContractor scheme.

Please call 01484439930 for further details.

If you are a contractor or service supplier and want to demonstrate your health and safety competency to new and existing clients, then you need to register as a contractor.

Being a member of the SafeContractor scheme means you no longer must complete multiple pre-qualification questionnaires, saving you both time and money.

SafeContractor is also one of the fastest growing contractor accreditation schemes in the UK, so you’ll be in great company.

Once accredited, you will be added to our web portal which is accessed by over 480 SafeContractor clients.

If you have joined the scheme as a direct result of a client request then you will appear in their monthly report.

You will also receive marketing support including a PR Guidance Note, vehicle stickers, and logos that can be used in your own marketing materials i.e. letterheads, brochures and websites etc.
