At Agena Group, achieving the prestigious SafePQQ Gold Standard is not just a milestone; it’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering excellence and fostering a secure working environment. This recognition compliments our SafeContractor re-accreditation, solidifying our position among industry leaders.
Alcumus SafeContractor and SafePQQ accreditations
Agena Group has been re-accredited from Alcumus SafeContractor for achieving excellence in health and safety in the workplace. This third-party accreditation scheme, recognised by major clients, validates rigorous standards in health and safety management among contractors. Used by thousands of organisations, including SMEs and FTSE 100 companies, this accreditation enhances our ability to secure new contracts. Furthermore, our commitment to safety is positively viewed by insurers during company liability policy renewals.
Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeContractor, emphasised, “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.”
SafePQQ is an extension of the SafeContractor audit that further increases supply chain transparency.
