Can you help us get SafeContractor approved?

Absolutely. We review your health and safety procedures, risk assessments, and method statements to ensure they meet SafeContractor standards, simplifying the application process for your business.

What is an Integrated Management System (IMS)?

An IMS combines all your systems (Quality, Environmental, Health & Safety) into one framework. This reduces duplication, saves time during audits, and provides a unified approach to managing your business compliance.

Do you conduct internal audits?

Yes, we provide independent internal auditing services to check your systems before external certification bodies arrive. This helps identify non-conformances early so they can be corrected without risking your accreditation.

How long does the accreditation process take?

Timelines vary based on your current readiness and the specific standard. Generally, it can take 3 to 6 months to implement systems and pass an audit. Our consultancy aims to streamline this to get you certified as efficiently as possible.
