At Cannins Ltd, we’ve always taken health and safety seriously—but now we have the credentials to prove it. We’re proud to announce that we’ve officially achieved SafeContractor Accreditation, a leading health and safety certification that marks a significant milestone for our business.
This isn’t just another badge for our website—it’s a mark of trust, credibility, and high professional standards. Here’s what this means for you, our clients, and why it puts Cannins ahead of the competition.
What is SafeContractor Accreditation?
SafeContractor is one of the UK’s most widely recognised health and safety accreditation schemes. It’s designed to assess a company’s ability to meet legal requirements and industry best practices in health and safety management.
To earn this accreditation, companies must undergo a comprehensive audit of their:
- Health and safety policies
- Staff training and qualifications
- Equipment maintenance and safety checks
- Risk assessments and method statements
- Insurance cover and compliance documentation
It’s a rigorous process—not just a tick-box exercise—which ensures that approved companies are safe, competent, and compliant at every level.
What Was Involved for Cannins Ltd?
Achieving SafeContractor Accreditation wasn’t a quick or easy process. Our team put in significant time and effort behind the scenes to review and strengthen every aspect of our operations. This included:
- Formalising and updating all risk assessments and safe systems of work
- Demonstrating ongoing staff training and qualifications
- Documenting accident reporting procedures
- Ensuring every piece of equipment is regularly maintained and safe to use
- Reviewing our COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) practices
- Submitting evidence of compliance and insurance
Our entire team was involved—from Emma in the office to the team on the road — working together to ensure that safety remains embedded in everything we do.
