Top Safety Accreditation for Tructyre
Tructyre Fleet Management Ltd is one of the latest group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.
The Winchester based firm recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors.
Employing 75 people, Tructyre is principally involved in the supply, service and repair of commercial tyres.
The company’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
Tructyre Senior Operations Executive, Scott Matthews said “Health and Safety is a key factor to our business and as important to our staff and our organisation as it is to our customers. Having a clear uniformed structure to clearly demonstrate our commitment via SAFE Contractor is imperative to our daily operation”.
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 Tructyre 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
