Ballards Removals are pleased to have achieved SafeContractor accreditation, recognising the high standards of health and safety that are embedded throughout our business.
Whether we’re moving a family into a new home, helping a business relocate or providing secure storage, safety is at the heart of everything we do. SafeContractor accreditation gives our customers confidence that our working practices have been independently assessed and meet recognised industry standards.
As we operate in a variety of locations and situations, alongside a range of different people, and are responsible for valuable property, having effective working practices and health and safety procedures is essential to us. Indeed, it’s embedded in our culture and a natural part of the way we manage our removals and storage business.
Many of our commercial customers, particularly those in food manufacturing and facilities management, prefer or require contractors to hold SafeContractor accreditation before work can begin. Having this accreditation allows us to meet those requirements while maintaining the same high standards across every project we undertake.
Our domestic customers, whether moving home, using our storage facilities or hiring a van, also benefit from our membership because the procedures we have in place apply to every job we do, no matter how large or small it might be.
Our SafeContractor Accreditation Process
Achieving SafeContractor accreditation involved a rigorous assessment of our health and safety procedures, policies and track record to ensure we consistently meet recognised standards.
Our in-house Health & Safety team worked alongside Sigerson Associates in Retford to prepare the documentation required for the application and to ensure our procedures were robust, practical and understood by everyone who works at Ballards.
Although the accreditation is an important milestone, it’s only one part of our ongoing commitment to providing a safe, professional and reliable removals service.
Whether you’re looking for a house removals service, commercial removals or secure storage facilities, you can be confident you’re choosing an experienced family business that takes safety just as seriously as customer service.
