The future’s orange Take up of HAE EHA’s SafeHire Certification Scheme is bouncing back big time, following the relaxing of


restrictions to manage the Covid pandemic. At the latest count, 301 audits have been performed so far this year – that’s an increase of 64% compared to 2021. On average, our busy SafeHire team is completing around 50 audits a month. SafeHire is not a goal for the faint-hearted, as standards are challenging, but once attained the benefits of


the scheme are plentiful. Displaying the orange SafeHire logo demonstrates continual business improvement. It allows construction


firms, local authorities, event organisers, and members of the public to approach tool and equipment, plant hire and event hire companies with confidence, as certification proves a firm’s competence in upholding high standards in health, safety, environment, and quality of equipment as well as a well-trained workforce. Many organisations now look for the logo, as it provides real peace of mind. As part of SafeHire, businesses are inspected yearly and


everything from workplace health and safety arrangements to sampling the safety of hire equipment is checked for compliance with the scheme’s rigorous standards. In order to raise the bar, even when a business passes certification, a few elements can often be found, providing guidance, and encouraging continual improvement. This strenuous validation process is also aligned with relevant modules of the construction industry’s SSIP (Safety Schemes in


Procurement) certification. This provides an improved benefit for those members who can not only meet the requirements of the SafeHire Private Standard but also confirms members who have achieved compliance with the SSIP core criteria. This helps hire businesses secure more opportunities and assists in reducing health and safety assessment costs and bureaucracy in the supply chain through cross-recognition between SSIP member schemes. Hiring equipment? Look for the bright orange logo. SafeHire Certification sets the benchmark for hire businesses to reach the highest quality standards, reduce risk and improve customer service.
