The high standards of professionalism and health and safety awareness at It’s Clean have been officially recognised, with our organisation being granted the SafeContractor approval for the 11th year running.


As proof that we are an industry-leading professional cleaning company, the SafeContractor approval goes a long way to recognising excellence and a high level of achievement in the contract cleaning industry, so naturally we are delighted to have achieved this status once again, but in truth, we were quietly confident because we know the standards expected and we know that we can achieve them.

How we achieved SafeContractor status

The SafeContractor approval recognises our work in contracting and subcontracting, i.e. how we maintain our high standards through our own employees and in sub-contractors. But also, in terms of the work we do, it covers commercial/industrial cleaning, computer room cleaning, deep cleaning, grounds and car park cleaning, office cleaning and domestic cleaning. So the scope of the approval covers the whole range of services we offer, and as an organisation the approval covers our role as a non-construction contractor, working with chemicals and hazardous substances.


In order to achieve the SafeContractor approval our systems and procedures were independently audited, so the approval team could see our standards in real time and judge us accordingly. We also had to submit documentary evidence of our health and safety procedures. This related to top-level management procedures, but also working procedures relating to health and safety issues, such as emergency responses, vehicles, employee induction, internal policies, materials usage, environmental practices and first aid etc.

 

We also had to submit evidence of our accident and ill-health record, as this is a good reflection of how we work and how we look after our employees. We had to submit evidence of our internal training procedures, how we control and manage our contractors and all our documented risk assessments relating to the cleaning materials we use and all our different cleaning practices.

How we pass on these high standards to you

It is fair to say that the SafeContractor approval covers every element of our business, and the achievement is a comprehensive study of our organisation, leaving no stone unturned, so we are particularly proud to achieve the SafeContractor approval, and even after 11 successful years, we do not take the approval for granted. We are well aware that the standards are very high in our industry, and that the approval is not awarded lightly. We are certainly aware of the hard work required to achieve the approval, so it acts as an annual recognition that we are working to high standards and routinely maintaining them.


You will see evidence of our SafeContractor approval status in the work we do for you, all carried out with your cleanliness standards and the health and safety of your employees in mind. But you will also see the SafeContractor recognition on our literature, our vehicles and on our social media. But ultimately, this award is as much for you as it is for us, because now you can be assured that the quality and high standards of our contract cleaning will be passed on to you.
