SafeContractor: Top Safety Accreditation for Our Drainage and Plumbing Services

Commitment to Safety: Metro Rod and Metro Plumb Renew SafeContractor Accreditation

We are proud to announce that Metro Rod and Metro Plumb have successfully renewed our Alcumus SafeContractor accreditation for our exceptional health and safety standards in the workplace.

Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading UK accreditation scheme that recognises businesses demonstrating rigorous health and safety management systems. This accreditation is valued by thousands of organisations across the UK, ranging from SMEs to FTSE 100 companies.

Employing over 500 staff, we are primarily involved in the drainage and plumbing sectors, providing services to a wide range of industries, including facilities management, hospitality, construction, and manufacturing.

Our decision to apply for SafeContractor accreditation was driven by our ongoing commitment to ensuring a uniform and high standard of health and safety practices across our operations. This accreditation is expected to strengthen our ability to secure new contracts and enhance our standing with insurers during liability policy renewals.

“We are thrilled to receive SafeContractor accreditation, which reflects our dedication to providing a safe working environment for our employees and customers,” said Stephen Chambers, Chief Operating Officer at Metro Rod and Metro Plumb. “Safety is always our top priority, and this achievement reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards across all aspects of our business.”

Gemma Archibald, Divisional CEO of Alcumus SafeContractor, commented, “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who cannot prove they have sound health and safety policies in place. Metro Rod and Metro Plumb’s commitment to safety is an excellent example for others in the industry to follow, and SafeContractor is proud to support them in their ongoing efforts to maintain compliance and ensure the safety of their teams.”

We continue to prioritise health and safety as part of our ongoing safety commitment. This accreditation is one of many that reflect our dedication to maintaining the highest standards. You can view our full list of accreditations here.
