Alcumus Safe Contractor
More than ever, it’s critical for Facilities Management (FM) businesses to source qualified, compliant people, deliver seamless services and mitigate H&S risks. We’re here to support you in upholding the professional standards of your organisation by offering transparency and visibility throughout your supply chain.
Facilities management companies bear the responsibility for the health and safety of both internal employees and onsite contractors. They need to be fully aware of the health and safety risks in the properties and environments they manage, as well as the competence of the contractors employed to work there.
Supply chain compliance and visibility are essential for meeting regulatory requirements, mitigating risks, upholding ethical standards, and improving efficiency within organisations, including facilities management businesses. Real-time monitoring of contractor compliance and the ability to identify potential risks are indispensable.
As global efforts to improve ESG intensify, facilities management organisations are taking substantial steps to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their impact on society. This includes ambitious goals of cutting emissions by 68% by 2030, and a requirement to source local contractors and suppliers while evidencing a responsible and ethical supply chain.
SafeContractor stands out as one of the few health and safety accreditation schemes that go beyond core criteria. We ask contractors dynamic, risk-based questions tailored to their business profiles and work types, ensuring all queries are relevant and proportionate to the specific risks involved.
Our dynamic risk-based assessment is designed to mitigate risks and prioritise safety. From ensuring compliance with industry best practices and continuously monitoring health and safety credentials to assessing operational, ethical, and financial risks, we’ve got you covered.
