Inergy Group attains Alcumus SafeContractor accreditation

Inergy Group is principally involved in the HVAC sector, specializing in energy-efficient solutions for industrial and commercial heating, ventilation, and cooling. Inergy Group’s most recent clients have included major players in the building material, food processing, and transport industries.
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.
Importance of good risk management
Gemma Archibald, Divisional CEO of Alcumus SafeContractor, said: "Major organizations 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 Inergy Group has done."
Gemma Archibald adds, "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, while working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process."
