Rigby and Rigby 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.

Iain Johnson, Head of Residential at Rigby and Rigby said: “SafeContractor accreditation is an important addition and cements the three Considerate Constructors™ awards that Rigby and Rigby is proud to have received, it provides further independent confirmation of our commitment to achieve excellence in site safety on all our developments. As a super-prime developer, we work in some of the world’s most exclusive and highly sensitive neighbourhoods. It is paramount that our construction teams work hard to earn the respect of clients, the neighbouring communities and planning authorities alike for our robust, comprehensive and sensitive approach to site management and safety.”

Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeContractor added: “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 Rigby and Rigby 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.”
