SafeContractor Accreditation 2024: A Continuing Commitment to Safety at Distribution Maintenance

15 July 2024

Back in 2021, we were thrilled to announce that Distribution Maintenance had been awarded the prestigious SafeContractor accreditation. This recognition was a testament to our unwavering commitment to health and safety, ethical practices, and compliance with industry regulations.

Three years on, we’re proud to share that we haven’t just maintained this standard – we’ve strengthened it. Distribution Maintenance has again been awarded SafeContractor accreditation for 2024. This renewal signifies our ongoing dedication to providing a safe and secure working environment for our employees, customers, and partners.

Why SafeContractor Accreditation Matters

The 2024 accreditation isn’t just about renewing a certificate; it shows our constant effort to improve safety. Over the last few years, we’ve:

Made our safety training even better: Our team is always learning the newest and best ways to stay safe at work.

Bought new tools and tech: This helps our workplace be safer and get more done.

Got even tougher on spotting risks: We’re serious about finding and fixing anything that could be dangerous.

Encouraged everyone to talk about safety: We want everyone to feel safe to speak up if they see something that could be unsafe.

We know working in warehouses and moving things around comes with its own risks. By keeping our SafeContractor approval, we’re showing we’re serious about tackling these issues and making work safer for everyone.

Our Ongoing Commitment

The 2024 accreditation isn’t merely a renewal; it’s a testament to our ongoing commitment to elevating safety standards and fostering a culture of continuous improvement within Distribution Maintenance. Over the past three years, we’ve been relentless in our pursuit of excellence:

Enhanced Safety Training Programs: We’ve gone above and beyond to further enhance our safety training programs, ensuring that our team not only meets but exceeds the latest industry standards and best practices. This includes in-depth training on hazard identification, risk assessment, emergency response procedures, and the safe operation of specialised equipment. By empowering our employees with knowledge and skills, we empower them to make informed decisions that prioritise safety in every aspect of their work.

Stricter Risk Assessment and Hazard Identification: We’ve implemented even more stringent protocols for risk assessment and hazard identification, leaving no room for complacency. Our rigorous approach involves regular inspections, detailed analysis of potential risks, and the implementation of robust control measures to mitigate those risks. By continuously evaluating and refining our safety processes, we ensure that our workplace remains as safe as possible.

Fostering a Culture of Open Communication: We firmly believe that a culture of open communication is essential for maintaining a safe workplace. We encourage our employees to report any safety concerns, near misses, or potential hazards without fear of reprisal. By fostering a transparent and collaborative environment, we empower our team to actively participate in our safety initiatives and contribute to the ongoing improvement of our safety culture.

We recognize that the warehousing and distribution industry presents unique challenges when it comes to safety. The fast-paced nature of operations, the presence of heavy machinery, and the constant movement of goods all contribute to a complex environment where risks can arise quickly. By maintaining our SafeContractor accreditation, we’re not just demonstrating our dedication to safety; we’re actively working to overcome these challenges and create a safer workplace for everyone involved in our operations. We strive to set a new benchmark for safety in the industry, ensuring that our clients can trust us to handle their valuable assets with the utmost care and diligence.
