Xmo Strata Breaks The Record In Customer Safety Accreditation
01 October 2008
Sign installation and maintenance firm Xmo Strata, has raised the safety bar yet again by gaining its highest score to date in a customer accreditation audit.
The company achieved a score of 96.9% in an audit commissioned by the BP/Bovis Global Alliance. This was completed under the terms of the BP Accredited Contractor Programme which determines whether subcontractors have the required knowledge, experience, practical ability and training in place to undertake work safely.
The audit was completed by SMTS, a nationally accredited provider of training, and Health and Safety consultancy services.
“We are incredibly impressed with the achievements of Xmo Strata,” said Jamie Richardson, Operations Manager of SMTS. “Not only did the company gain such a high score, it demonstrated an uncompromising commitment to safety, with behavioural safety clearly embedded into its everyday procedures.
“Working with Xmo Strata on this accreditation has been such an enjoyable experience; it is on rare days like this that I get a genuine sense of achievement knowing that safety can really work if people give it as much weight as other business priorities,” he added.
Xmo Strata gained 100% in five of the ten categories assessed, including procedures and arrangements, safety records, communication, inspections and safety policy statements.
Steve Martin, Managing Director of Xmo Strata commented: “Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, we need to provide evidence that a safe working environment is provided to protect ourselves and our customers.
“This result is a very positive signal that Xmo Strata is achieving its goal of an Incident and Injury Free working environment, and that this is recognised, nurtured and supported by The BP/Bovis Global Alliance - a company which holds parallel principles and values where safety is concerned,” he added.
