Top Safety Certification for Urban Pest Control

Local business Urban Pest Control has been awarded certification from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.

Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading certification scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.

The company’s application for SafeContractor certification was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor certification will enhance the company’s ability to win new commercial pest control contracts, and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

Gemma Archibald, Divisional CEO of Alcumus SafeContractor said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place.”

“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Urban Pest Control has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeContractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the approval process.”

Matt, Urban Pest Control MD, stated: “We are proud to have gained this accreditation as it highlights our dedication to keeping our team and our customers safe to the highest levels throughout health and safety commitments.

We hope it will deliver peace of mind to our customers in the Dorset Area.”
