Top Safety Accreditation for Hampshire Security Company

Venture Security, a key provider of security services within Hampshire, is one of the latest companies to join a leading edge scheme designed to help industry improve its safety record.

The Andover based security company received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety amongst UK contractors. Venture’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

Paul Howe, Venture’s Managing Director, said “We take health and safety very seriously at Venture and we believe that this SAFEcontractor accreditation demonstrates our commitment to our staff and clients. We take our role very seriously in protecting our clients’ businesses and this is further reflected in our professional accreditations.”

John Kinge, Head of Risk at 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 Venture Security has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other security companies within the sector.”

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