Top Safety Accreditation for Precision Pneumatics

Knowsley business Precision Pneumatics has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.

Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third party accreditation 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.

Employing 25 people, Precision Pneumatics  is principally involved in the business-to-business sector, specialising in the compressed air and pneumatics industries.

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

Gemma Archibald, Director 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 Precision Pneumatics 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 accreditation process.”

Phil Hood, Managing Director of Precision Pneumatics added: “Safety is an absolute priority for us and is at the heart of everything we do. Achieving the SafeContractor accreditation is a significant milestone for us and demonstrates to our customers and colleagues alike that we will not compromise or cut corners in this vital aspect of our work.”
