Redpack Packaging Machinery has been accredited with the highly prestigious SAFEcontractor status as the industry looks to improve its safety record.

SAFEcontractor is recognised by a wide variety of industries but, because of its reliance on contract services, it has become particularly relevant to the food manufacturing sector.

Companies aspiring to SAFEcontractor accreditation undergo a stringent vetting process which includes the scrutiny of health and safety procedures and a close examination of a company’s track record within its business sector.

The management team at SAFEcontractor believes accreditation enhances a company’s ability to attract new contracts, and reports that insurers also view it positively when renewing public liability policies.

Redpack’s Steve Crow said: “I am delighted that this company has achieved SAFEcontractor accreditation. It will re-enforce the message that Redpack Packaging Machinery is a trusted supplier of flow-wrapping machines and integrated packaging systems with sound health and safety polices.”
