Contemporary Event Structures Specialists Evolution Dome is now officially Safe Contractor certified via the Alcumus Safe Contractor scheme.
Having just been awarded ISO 9001 the Approved Safe Contractor seemed like the natural next step to ensure as well as delivering a quality service and product the team are delivering a safe environment for the public, client and work force Ash Austin explains
Ash Austin – Director Comments “Although Inflatable Structures are a brilliant, quick and easy way to create a Contemporary Space they come with their own risks, as with any other temporary structure. The transport, install and de-rig processes involved have there own hazards to our client, the general public and of course our own crew. We pride ourselves on delivering a first class, hassle free service to our clients that is done so in teh most professional manor. The safe contractor accreditation just enforces just how important we do take health and safety as a company.”
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme which recognises extremely rigorous standards in health and safety. With thousands of organisations already on board ranging from SMEs right up to FTSE 100 its a great Achievement for the Contemporary Event Structure Supplier Evolution Dome.
Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus Safe Contractor 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 Evolution Dome has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. Safe Contractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process.”
Through the process of becoming Safe Contractor Approved, Evolution Dome underwent a vetting process which examined health and safety procedures as well as our track record for safe practice. Darren, our head of production, compiled extensive paperwork in order to meet the high standards the Alcumus Safe Contractor scheme required.
Darren Norfield – Operation Manager at Evolution Dome comments ” With 30 years in the Contemporary Event Structure Industry i have seen a number of failings, near misses and accidents. The Scheme that Safe Contractor runs is a standard that should be adopted by all in any industry. It shows good practice and safey on and off site and this can only have a positive impact on reducing accidents, injury and near misses.”
