Safety Certificate for Contractors

Safety, health and environmental factors are key concerns for organisations worldwide, particularly for employees in high-risk jobs. Many sub-contractors work in industries with significant health and safety challenges. Safety procedures and guidelines should be in place to minimise potential risks and avoid financial and operational loss.

Safety Certificate for Contractors (SCC) is a standard for the audit and certification of safety management systems. This allows organisations to operate with greater safety awareness and reduce the number of accidents. SCC certification is increasingly regarded as a mandatory requirement, especially for businesses working on their clients’ premises.

The SCC standard is similar to other management systems, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. All of these can be supported by TÜV SÜD’s comprehensive portfolio of certification and management systems services.

A company with SCC certification commits to continued improvement in the implementation of its health and safety policy. The SCC standard is different to other management systems, such as ISO 45001 and ISO 9001, as it provides reliable control of safety, health, environment (SHE). Decision-makers within a company have many health and safety considerations. This includes strategy and direction, building a decision-making process, and measures to identify and minimise risk levels detrimental to employees’ wellbeing. SCC certification provides valuable information that facilitates this process.

A company that achieves SCC certification also improves marketability. The business gains recognition and trust worldwide by showing a commitment to by prioritising safety for everyone, not just your employees. This in turn boosts productivity as accidents and health-related issues are reduced or eliminated.
