Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third-party accreditation scheme that recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management and are used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies. "*Our accreditation gives peace of mind to our clients that we’re a safe water hygiene company to use.  We’re committed to continuously improving health and safety standards across the business. Well done to the team** - this is a great achievement for us all and we look forward to working with new and existing clients*" - Daniel Pitcher, Managing Director.   Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeContractor said: *“Major organisations simply cannot* *afford to run the risk of employing consultants who are not able to prove that they have sound* *health and safety policies in place. M**ore companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the **way that the Water Hygiene Centre has done. Their high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector".  * ## Why have we received this accreditation? To obtain this accreditation, we have undergone a vetting process which examines our health and safety procedures and track record for safe practice. Only companies that meet the high standard are awarded the SafePQQ accreditation, an extension of the SafeContractor health and safety contractor management system.
