Top Safety Accreditation for Sonic Landscaping.


Sonic Landscaping is one of the latest group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.

Sonic Landscaping proprietor, Steve Wilkinson said: "Sonic Landscaping is extremely happy in becoming the latest company in joining the Safecontractor scheme. This is just one of several government run schemes we are going to be joining and this is a huge step in the right direction for expanding the business. Sonic Landscaping has wanted to demonstrate its Health and Safety credentials to its current customers and potential customers for some time now. The Safecontractor accreditation we now hold will hopefully open new doors in obtaining new contract work and current clients have already expressed their approval for the new award Sonic Landscaping has obtained."

The Kent-based firm recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors.
Sonic Landscaping is principally involved in the commercial grounds maintenance and flat maintenance sector offering grounds maintenance and flat maintenance to an array of customers such as management companies, housing associations, schools and more.

The company’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

SAFEcontractor accreditation is expected to enhance the company’s ability to attract new contracts and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

SAFEcontractor is applicable to most sectors although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, property, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are big users of contract services.

John Kinge, Head of Risk at SAFEcontractor said, "Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies".

"More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Sonic Landscaping has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector".

Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process, which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via a website, www.safecontractor.com

Employer-organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the database, enabling them to vet potential contractors before they even set foot on site. These employers agree that, as users of the scheme, they will engage only those who have received accreditation.

Over one hundred and fifty major nation-wide businesses, from several key sectors, have signed up to use the scheme when selecting contractors for services such as building, cleaning, maintenance, refurbishment or electrical and mechanical work.
