Sara Loading Bay Specialists Achieves Top Safecontractor Safety Accreditation

“We pride ourselves on our standard of installation safety,” said Mike Bunn, MD of sara LBS. “This accreditation officially validates our procedures in this area, and gives both our existing and potential customers absolute security that they are dealing with an organisation that regards safety as paramount.”

Sara LBS is a major force in five key market sectors within the UK: high speed doors, loading bay equipment, industrial doors, aluminium ramps and drawbridge levellers. The company is a total package supplier, combining excellence in product supply with the highest levels of pre and post sales design input and technical support. The solutions provided by sara LBS are an important benefit to the end users, specifiers, and main contractors.

“We expect SAFEcontractor accreditation to further enhance our ability to attract new contracts,” said Mike Bunn; “not least because its commitment to safety is viewed positively by insurers when company liability policies are up for renewal.”

SAFEcontractor is operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialists, the National Britannia Group. The system is applicable to most sectors, although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, property, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are big users of contract services.

Darran Hughes, Operations Director for SAFEcontractor at National Britannia, said: Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies. More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that sara LBS has done. The company has set a high standard, which, hopefully, will be followed by others within its sector.”
