Top Safety Accreditation for Liftmaster Garage Equipment

Liftmaster is the latest company to join a scheme designed to help industry improve its safety record. The Hampshire based firm recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors. Specialising in the sales of 2 post lifts, 4 post lifts, scissor lifts, tyre equipment, MOT and ATF Equipment, Liftmaster’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. 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 Liftmaster has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector.”
