The most recent clients for Elga Process Water have included major players such as BAE Systems Submarines, BP, E.ON, International Power, National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, Pfizer, Royal Berkshire Hospital, Seabank Power, Scottish and Southern Energy, Scottish Power, University of London and Vanguard Healthcare.
The company application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
Elga Process Water Managing Director, Martyn Fisher, is delighted with the accreditation but is far from complacent.
"Safety, Health, Environment and Quality are of paramount importance to our clients, and accreditation by SAFEcontractor is a measure of our competence within this field," he says.
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.
The system is applicable to most sectors although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, property, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are big users of contract services.
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 Elga Process Water has done.
Our high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector".
