Local business DCRS Ltd has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.

Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. It is used by thousands of organisations in the UK including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies.

DCRS Ltd is principally involved in the radio communications sector, specialising in a multitude of industries. DCRS Ltd most recent clients have included major players such as Liverpool One, Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, Burberry and Senvion.

The company’s application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor accreditation will enhance the company’s ability to win new contracts, and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeContractor, said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place.”

“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that DCRS Ltd has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeContractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs while working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process.”

Steve Luscombe, Director, added, “It is such a privilege to be awarded such as prestigious accreditation as Safe Contractor that truly demonstrates our dedication and continuous development as a company”.
