Health & Safety

With legislation placing an ever-increasing burden on organisations to ensure the health and safety competency of contractors providing services on their premises, it is vital to have a reliable system in place.

CHAS is a accreditation scheme that assess the Health & Safety competency of contractors and service providers.

“It is vital that our workers understand the importance of a safe working environment both for themselves and others working around them and this accreditation means that K&M McLoughlin can offer clients further evidence that it is dedicated to providing first class service with fully trained staff”

"Health and Safety” and the environment have always been at the top of our agenda, however, to be awarded these certifications rubber-stamps this, and is a real credit to all of our employees, particularly those involved on site".

James Ostler, Managing Director of Information Service at National Britannia commented: 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".
