Top safety accreditation for Assist Facilities Management

Assist Facilities Management is celebrating its achievement of SAFEcontractor status for the seventh year in a row.

Many large organisations now use SAFEcontractor as their primary means of selecting contractors, by searching its database of ‘approved suppliers’.

The Blackburn-based firm, which covers the whole of the UK, recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practice amongst UK contractors.

"More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Assist Facilities Management has done. The firms’ high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector."

Mark Guest, business development manager of Assist Facilities Management, said: “We are delighted to have been accredited by the Safecontractor programme. Everyone at Assist has worked very hard and we are extremely proud of this achievement, and it once again confirms our continuing commitment to the highest standards of health and safety management.”
