Safe Contractor Accreditation

Jan 25, 2022

Health and Safety Update.

We are once more delighted to have 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.


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 Knowsley Lift Services 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.

Now in our 25th year, we are delighted with our health and safety record. This accreditation gives peace of mind that we’re a safe company to use

  • We’re committed to continuously improving health and safety standards
  • We’re committed to sustainable and ethical practices •
  • We work compliantly in line with all current regulations •
  • Major organisations recognise the scheme and accept the SafeContractor certificate as confirmation of competency in health and safety practice
