W
hat are your choices? You can step back, stay
small and accept that some jobs are just a bit too
big. Or, could you afford to invest in your own
in-house HR, audit, compliance and legal teams?
There is a much better third option.
With Alcumus SafeContractor you can now compete
with the big players in your field, on process as well as
product. SafeContractor is the end-to-end system designed
specifically for the emerging SME and innovative new
enterprise. We make it possible to dramatically improve
your safety management, at low cost – and stay fully in
charge.
Step one: get accredited
Accreditation with Alcumus SafeContractor comes with
a wide range of benefits for you and your clients. Your
customers will know what they are dealing with, and they’ll
have the ‘peace of mind’ that comes with knowing that they
are capable and compliant. Perhaps more importantly, so
will you.
You’ll be assigned your own dedicated auditor; each
business is unique and so is our approach. Be it method
statements, risk assessments, working-at-height analysis
or environmental impact forms, SafeContractor’s highlyqualified auditors will work with you to make sure you not
only meet but exceed core SSIP requirements.
Throughout the process you’ll also benefit from expert
tips and time-saving advice, access to templates and
guidance on how to avoid the most common pitfalls.
Because the biggest risk is often the simplest one, your
auditor will provide you and your team training on how to
use relevant systems.
If time is of the essence, then we can ensure you
are contacted by an auditor within 48 hours. Alcumus
SafeContractor understands that sometimes things happen
faster or differently than anticipated and we’re able to flex
to support your need for accreditation in your timescale.
Step two: become part of our community
So far, so good and many, if not most, safety
management and audit services stop when the assessment
is over. Alcumus SafeContractor is different. We understand
that true value comes by providing ongoing support.
We will continue to work with you to help you to remain
current, to keep the accreditation you’ve worked so hard to
gain, and above all, to improve your competitiveness.
Upon accreditation you’ll gain access to a raft of
additional membership benefits. These include:
• Discounted insurance from Arthur J Gallagher;
• Employment and commercial legal advice from Abbey
Legal Protection – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days
a year;
• Monthly bulletins to bring your attention to changes in
legislation so you can stay compliant and focused on the
job in hand;
• SafeContractor TradePoint discount card, offering savings
of up to 40% on over 12,000 products;
• Access to the Screwfix benefits package which will help
you ‘tool up’ for your next job without breaking the bank;
• Further training – once accredited you’ll gain access to the
whole range of Santia training courses at a 15% discount
to help you invest even further in your workforce.
Alcumus SafeContractor has over 25,000 members and
is growing at a rate of over 400 members per month. In
short, once accredited, you’ll find that you’ve become part
of a whole new community. Membership will allow you to
take full advantage of your new status as a SafeContractor
and to make new business connections and win more work.
As a result, the next time you tender for a big job, you can
be sure that your chosen partner sits on the same firm
foundations that you do.
In over 20 years our approach to safety hasn’t changed
and our goal hasn’t altered. That standard and consistency
means, when your capability and compliance is accredited
by SafeContractor, you can get on with your business.
