SAFEcontractor is a third party accreditation scheme that assesses the Health & Safety competency of contractors and service providers.

Clients have a legal obligation to ensure that external contractors and

service providers working on their premises operate in a safe way.

The assessment of contractors’ Health & Safety arrangements is

increasingly being carried out through SAFEcontractor.

We are audited and approved by the Security System and Alarm Inspectorate Board Twice annually.

During these audits our head office and admin team are scrutinised to ensure every single procedure is followed.

Every aspect of the paper trail must be intact and kept in good order.

We must also maintain a minimal amount of false alarms, this in turn helps to ensure the stability and reliability of our security systems.

Our new installations and maintenance contracts are also fully audited during this visit. To pass the system inspections and achieve SSAIB approval, only the best quality of installation will be accepted.

Every single part of the system will be inspected, from the screws used to fix the detectors, down to the clips used on the cable.

It is due to following every part of these rigorous standards that we continue to gain SSAIB approval.

SSAIB is a Certification Body. Certification Bodies do not have ‘members’. Companies cannot simply join these organisations by paying a fee. SSAIB has rigorous standards of assessment that ensure quality and reliability, thus only reputable companies will be listed. For clarity some of the checks undertaken are tabled below.

• Install and maintain equipment to relevant British and European Standards.
