The importance of health and safety validation

We are delighted to announce that Polygon owned Plastic Surgeon has, once again, been awarded SafeContractor and SafePPQ for their workplace competence as a safe, ethical, and sustainable company to work with. The accreditation is awarded by Alcumus SafeContractor, who recognise extremely rigorous standards in health and safety management with contractors.

Nikki Harrison, H & S Manager for Plastic Surgeon explains why the accreditation is so important to business:

“Our clients simply will not run the risk of appointing contractors without the correct health and safety policies in place. SafeContractor and SafePPQ offers greater visibility of our high standards and reiterates the importance we place of health and safety within our industry. It is vital that our clients in the building and construction sector can instantly see that we meet the exacting standards set by Alcumus and that we are operating at the highest level to ensure both our clients and our own staff are following strict H&S procedures at all times.”
