Feb 2012: SAFE as houses
EMSc (UK) Ltd, manufacturer of the Star® range of energy saving solutions - including the UK's leading voltage optimisation system Powerstar - is pleased to announce it has been awarded SAFEcontractor accreditation, which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise. Dr Alex Mardapittas, EMS managing director commented: "At EMS we are driven by our desire to maintain a high standard of health and safety across all aspects of our business and we are committed to ensuring the welfare of our employees, contractors and clients at all times." He added: "This accreditation demonstrates the high standards of health and safety practices we operate under and our commitment to ensuring these high standards are upheld." 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 EMS has done."
