SAFETY & COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE FEATURE
SSI SCHAEFER SECURE THEIR SUPPLY CHAIN WITH ROBUST HEALTH AND SAFETY PRACTICES
S
SI SCHAEFER, a provider of products and systems for intra-
company material flows and waste engineering, has selected Alcumus SafeContractor for both its sub- contractor management system and contractor accreditation. The manufacturing industry has
many hazards, particularly moving objects, contact with machinery, and falls from height. The HSE estimate there were 61,000 injuries to manufacturing workers in 2018/19, 26 of them fatal. Many of these are down to unsafe work practices which can be avoided with the correct education and precautions. SSI SCHAEFER today announce it has partnered with SafeContractor to signal to customers it is uncompromising when it comes to health and safety. Andy Wightman, commercial
director, at SSI SCHAEFER comments: “We work with very large brands, meaning we sometimes allocate projects worth millions of pounds to contractors. It is essential that they are following the correct procedures and protecting our reputation with the customer. SafeContractor provides peace of mind that contractor health and safety practices are compliant with the law and that they are working to the highest standards.” Tracey Peace, business
improvement manager, at SSI SCHAEFER adds: “Onboarding contractors for each new project
Alcumus SafeContractor
can be an arduous task. With SafeContractor we can mitigate the cost and time of trying to manage contractors ourselves by accessing a ready pool of accredited contractors. This will build confidence and drive efficiency for our team, which will help us to grow sustainably and ethically as a business.” Gemma Archibald, managing
director of Alcumus SafeContractor says: “As the latest HSE statistics suggest, appropriate health and safety vetting of your supply chain is essential to minimise the risks to individuals and your business.” “While many supply chains are
being disrupted at the moment, health and safety standards should not be compromised. Furthermore, strides towards quality, environment and sustainability goals should not be needlessly undone. Access to the SafeContractor community of over 33,000 contractors and suppliers means that organisations can eliminate single points of failure in the supply chain to safeguard against business disruption, ensuring business continuity.” “We’re thrilled that SSI SCHAEFER
has joined our community and we wish them every success. More than 450 leading organisations, including many of the UK’s leading manufacturers, have selected SafeContractor to become safer, healthier and stronger.”
