Datum Group have been praised for their Health and Safety excellence and awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor.
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.
The Datum Group employ more than 100 people across six locations in the UK and in America providing geotechnical and structural monitoring and surveying services as well as operating a manufacturing and interactive division.
Datum Monitoring, Survey, Systems and Interactive are four very specific divisions that make up the Datum Group serving alongside sister companies WASP Rescue, Atlas Pile Testing Systems, Geokon UK and BDI in America.
The SafeContractor accreditation provides a uniform standard across the business and enhances the company’s ability to win contracts and demonstrates a clear commitment to safety.
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 the Datum Group 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, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process.”
Nicola Fielding, SHEQ Manager of the Datum Group, said: “We pride ourselves on the quality of the services we provide and the work we do, and on our safe working practice.
“The safety of our employees, contractors, clients and members of the public remains at the heart of everything we do we are proud to awarded to be SafeContrator Approved.”
