Top Health & Safety Accreditation for The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company.

Company Name: The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company Ltd.
Membership Number: YP5296

Local business The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company 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.

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 its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

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 The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company 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.”

Emilio Evangelista from The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company comments “We have always been committed to achieving high standards of work, balanced with high standards of Health and Safety. This accreditation showcases our commitment to both.”

The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company Upgrades!

By Leave a Comment

The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company are excited to announce that we’ve upgraded our cleaning systems.

We’re always on the lookout for more efficient cleaning methods and equipment. After much time and research, we were happy to invest in our new Facelift Phoenix window cleaning system.

As a result, with this new system our team of technicians at The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company are able to perform their work more efficiently and most of all, without delays of down time.

Benefits to The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company:

  • Split relay: The system fully charges itself whilst the vehicles are on the move. Meaning we’re always available and the equipment is ready.
  • 650L baffled water tanks: Holding more water, our technicians are now not hindered by running out of water halfway through a job.
  • Back up pump and controller: Equipment is infallible, pumps/controllers can stop working for no apparent reason. Therefore, a back up of both components means the job can continue.
  • Secure van ports: These are going to allow us keep the vehicles securely locked, even whilst working off them.

On completion of the Inspection of PPE course, technicians from The Cardiff Window Cleaning Company will be competent to carry out thorough examinations of equipment. That will help us keep traceable records of this under LOLER and WAH regulations.

Course elements covered include:

  • Characteristics of Fall Protection equipment for restraint, positioning and arrest
  • Considerations for safe use
  • Legislation and the need for inspection
  • Compatibility of system components
  • Storage, cleaning and maintenance
  • Pre-use checking of equipment
