Xmo Strata Gains Top Quality Safety Accreditation
17 February 2009
Nationwide sign installation and maintenance firm Xmo Strata, has been awarded one of the world's toughest safety accreditations - for the fourth time.
The International Contractors' Safety Rating System* is so tough it's normally applied to companies working on nuclear power stations and sub-sea pipelines. Xmo Strata's crews are regarded as the industry's elite, however, because they work on petrol forecourts - 'hazchem' environments with risks such as speeding motorists, and flammable vapours and liquids.
Boss Steve Martin said: “The team's done a terrific job. It's a highly intrusive assessment and there's no hiding place - you won't pass unless your company's got superb procedures.”
* The assessment covers the company's leadership, administration, job planning, training, emergency preparedness and procedures, inspections, management training, investigations and analysis, employee communications and promotions, organisational rules, health control, recruitment, personal protective equipment and other procedures.
