Local business Oberlin Filter Ltd has been awarded accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor for
achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace.
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading third-party 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.
Oberlin Filter Ltd is principally involved in the manufacturing sector, specialising in liquid filtration.
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 insurers.
Gemma Archibald, Director 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 Oberlin Filter Ltd 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.”
Mike Johnson
Sales and Administration Director for Oberlin Filter Ltd said
‘’This recent accolade symbolises Oberlin’s continual dynamism, ambitions and energy as we
increasingly become positively recognised and reputed within the ever developing technical and
sophisticated marketplace. ‘’
