LINEV Systems UK Ltd has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus, SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.

Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading 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.

Employing 12 people, LINEV Systems UK Ltd is principally involved in the X-ray Security Screening & NDT sector.

The company’s application for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business. SafeContractor accreditation will enhance the company’s ability to win new contracts, and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

Gemma Archibald, Divisional CEO 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 LINEV Systems 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.”

Rob Keeler MD of LINEV Systems UK Ltd “I have the responsibility of ensuring our team, and people within our organisation are kept safe, that the resilience in our business continues to grow, and that all legal duties are met. Demonstrating this important culture to our current and potential customers is assured by the SafeContractor accreditation. Showcasing our high standards and commitment to quality, safety, compliance, and sustainability.”
