Acclaim Handling is a certified Safecontractor forklift company complimenting our existing accrediations to ISO 9001:2008 and OHSAS18001 as part of our commitment to keeping up the best Health & Safety practices of any UK forklift company.

Safecontractor is a third party accreditation scheme that assesses health and safety arrangements and recognises thos companies with very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors. Many of our major customers and prospects recognise the scheme and acept the  Safecontractor certification as confirmation of competency.

Offering local service via our 6 regional service centres nationally, Acclaim Handling has been awarded accreditation as a Safecontractor Forklift company because of its commitment to achieving excellence in health & safety.

Acclaim’s Compliance Manager, Nick Griffiths said: “Our customers demand the best attention to Health & Safety which continues to be of paramount importance to Acclaim. We were the first independent forklift company in the UK certified to ISO 9001:2008 as well as becoming the first company in England to be accredited to OHSAS18001. This new recognition as an approved Safcontractor means our forklift, racking and materials handling customers can continue to place their confidence in Acclaim”.

Acclaim Handling’s application as a Safecontractor Forklift company was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

As an accredited Safecontractor forklift company it enhances Acclaim’s ability to attract new customer contracts and our commitment to safety is viewed positively by our insurers when it comes to reviewing our company’s liability policy.

In order to achieve our accrediation as a Safecontractor Forklift company, our business underwent a vetting process which examined our health and safety procedures and our track record for safe practice.
