Safecontractor Approved Forklift Company

Acclaim Handling is a certified Safecontractor Approved Forklift Company complementing our existing accreditations to ISO 9001:2015 and OHSAS:18001 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 has assessed our health and safety arrangements and recognises companies with very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors. Lots of our major customers and prospect customers recognise the scheme and accept the  Safecontractor  certification as confirmation of competency.

Offering local service via our 7 regional depots nationally, Acclaim Handling has been awarded accreditation as a Safecontractor Forklift company because of its commitment to achieving excellence in health & safety.

Our Health and Safety 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 Approved Forklift Company was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

As an accredited Safecontractor Approved 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 accreditation as a Safecontractor Approved Forklift Company, our business underwent a thorough vetting process which examined our health and safety procedures and our track record for safe practice.
