SAFETY CHECK - (Contractor Competence Assessments)
About Safety Check         

~

The Safety Check Contractor Assessment Scheme has been designed to ensure that the contractors/sub-contractors you use are competent, and can demonstrate their compliance with health and safety legislation as applicable to the scope of their business.  It is intended that by using Safety Check you can simplify your contractor assessment procedures, saving valuable time and money, whilst also ensuring that you are taking reasonable steps to assess the competence of the contractors that you employ. All contractors that are assessed on your behalf are then registered on the Safety Check database.

@

The database provides a 2 tier level of acceptance:

 

1. (Level 1) Preferred Contractor

2. (Level 2) Approved Contractor

The main intention of the Safety Check scheme is to assist organisations, who regularly use contractors/sub-contractors, to manage and assess the competence of the companies and individuals that they use. In particular, following the implementation of the new CDM Regulations in April 2007, there is now a greater and more explicit legal requirement on organisations to carry out competence assessments on the contractors that they use. Safety Check has therefore been designed to provide you with a cost effective and convenient way to help manage your sub-contractor assessments, enabling you to have your sub-contractors assessed by competent Health & Safety Practitioners and thereby meeting your legal requirements at an affordable price.

In order to carry out the assessments, we would require the following information for each contractor that is to be assessed; there is no minimum number of contractors that we will assess and we will maintain a database of all of your contractors. You or your designated representatives, such as site managers, will then be able to call us to query any information on the database. We will also provide you with Email Summary Reports on the status of the contractors on your list. In order to make the initial assessment we will need your contractor's:

  • Proprietor/Directors Name

  • Company Name

  • Address

  • Telephone Number

  • Email Address

If you would like us to assess contractors on your behalf you can order the number of contractors that you would like assessed on-line. There are 2 price levels. We offer a discount for all of our Safety Advisory Service (SAS) Clients who are charged at £12.00 plus VAT per contractor assessment, whilst non SAS Clients are charged at £18.00 plus VAT per contractor assessment.
