Vehicle lift specialist Stertil Koni is
celebrating its achievement of
SAFEContractor for five years in a
row. The company has been granted
full accreditation for the health and
safety scheme, which assesses the
competency of contractors, every
year since 2005.

Many large organisations now use
SAFEContractor as a primary means
of selecting contractors, by searching
its database of ‘approved suppliers’.

With a legal obligation to ensure
contractors operate safely,
SAFEContractor offers companies a
simple way to access a list of
accredited firms.

Stertil’s continued accreditation
recognises its consistently high
standards of health and safety. In
support of its application, the
company has to submit evidence of
its safe working practices, including
details of risk assessments and
emergency procedures; health and
safety training arrangements; details
of equipment testing and
maintenance; and procedures on
implementation of policy and
control of sub-contractors.
