Confidence in our Health and Safety Credentials

We place enormous emphasis on health and safety in the workplace and recognise that these are 'must have' skills in order to meet our own and our customers' standards. We are always looking for ways to improve our health and safety credentials and to stay abreast of any legal requirements relating to the work we do. The following are just some examples of formal accreditation within Maziaks:

• The Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) provides a nationally recognised standard of health and safety training and assurance which caters for each industry sector. All of our engineers have undergone refresher training this year and have standard SPA passports plus the 'Food and Drink' module. www.safetypassalliance.co.uk
• Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) was set up to help the construction industry to improve quality and reduce accidents. CSCS cards are increasingly demanded as proof of occupational competence by customers. All of our engineers are registered. www.cscs.uk.com
• Engineering Services SKILLcard registers the skills and competence of people working throughout the mechanical services sector of the building services engineering industry. All of our engineers are registered. www.skillcard.org.uk
• SAFEcontractor is an accreditation scheme that assesses the health & safety competency of contractors and service providers. Maziaks have applied for accreditation and hope to get approval for this by the end of the year. www.safecontractor.co.uk
• A number of our staff are also trained in the following:
  • City and Guild 2381 - electrical
  • City and Guild 2078 - gas handling
  • IPAF MEWP
  • Fire Officers
  • First Aid
