Top Safety Accreditation for RMS Ltd.

RMS is one of the latest group of succssful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety records.

The Midlands based firm, who has achieved and maintained SAFEcontractor Accreditation for many years, recently received another Accreditation from the programme which recognises very high standards of Health & Safety practise amongst UK contractors.

The company's application for SAFEcontractor Accreditation was driven by their commitment to deliver high standards in workmanship & safety across their business.

"Safety & high standards of Workmanship are key values within our business. The SAFEcontract scheme & award is valued by clients & suppliers across the UK as an excellent illustration & external demonstration of high standards of health & safety within an organisation." remarked Chris Watchorn, Director at RMS.

RMS Team make the Grade

Working at height is an exceptionally dangerous activity and RMS invests heavily into training and the Health & Safety of their teams.

Last week saw one of their teams regain their licences to operate and drive Cherry-pickers & Scissor-lifts. The International Power Access Federation training is required for the licenced and approved safe working with "mobile elevating working platform equipment." This licence needs to be updated every 5 years and Rob, Gary, Brian, Jamie, Ross, Terry & Andy passed with flying colours yet again.

"We pride ourselves on the quality of workmanship and the standard of our teams. This recent training is another example of how we've earned the reputation of professionals and specialists in roofing solutions." praised Chris Watchorn, Director of RMS.
