Top Safety Accreditation for McLaren

Date: 02 June 2009

McLaren gains SAFEcontractor accreditation.

McLaren is one of the latest successful companies to join the leading edge, SAFEcontractor scheme, which is designed to help the industry improve its safety record.

Darren Hughes; Operations Director of SAFEcontractor 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 McLaren has done.  The firm's high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector".

Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a rigorous vetting process, which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice.
