Belfast-based property maintenance company Choice Services has obtained a Safe-T-Cert accretition, which certifies the safety management systems of contractors working in the construction industry.

Safe-T-Cert is externally audited, and organisations must provide up to three months evidence in running the safety management system.

Achieving the certificate means Choice aligns with industry health and safety standards required by third-party contractors who tender for Choice projects. Choice Services adjusted existing systems to meet the requirements of Safe-T-Cert and provided evidence to the auditor for assessment. The auditor then completed a site inspection to ensure the system was applied appropriately.

Speaking about the Safe-T-Cert, Alfred Smallwoods, Choice HSQE Manager said: "Safety has become the most important focus of Choice Services outside of contract performance and there has been a considerable buy-in across the organisation. Achieving the Safe-T-Cert is testament to the hard work and dedication of staff over the years. This milestone serves as a catalyst for continual improvement."
