Following on from our recent award from the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS), Timberwise are proud to have won accreditation to the prestigious NHBC Safemark scheme.

The NHBC Health and Safety Competence Assessment Scheme for Contractors is recognised by the umbrella organisation Safety Schemes in Procurement and has been developed to help builders meet their obligation to only appoint competent contractors.

This award further demonstrates Timberwise’s commitment to Health and Safety. Timberwise’s Health and Safety Officer – Lorraine Shuker, commented on the accreditation “We are continuing to develop our Health and Safety systems within Timberwise and our involvement with schemes such as this proves our commitment to leading the way.”

Timberwise has been awarded the highly prestigious Platinum Award in recognition of our commitment to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS)

CSCS was set up to help the construction industry to improve quality and reduce accidents.  CSCS cards are increasingly in demand as proof of occupational competence and health and safety knowledge by contractors, public, private clients and others.
 
CSCS award organisations a Gold Award when 75% of their staff have received CSCS cards. However, Timberwise have surpassed this mark to be awarded with a Platinum Award. To obtain the Platinum Award over 90% of our operational staff now hold a CSCS card. This award emphasises our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible service to our customers by ensuring that our employees are trained to the highest industry standards. 

This is a fantastic award for us to obtain and we are proud of our achievement.
