The Alcumus SafeContractor approval has been achieved following an assessment of our health & safety documentation, and compared against the SafeContractor Assessment Standards. It demonstrates our continued commitment to the safety and provides our clients with the assurance that we have been independently vetted.
SafeContractor Certification
Clees • December 18, 2024
Otto Simon is pleased to share another year of a successful audit and certification from SafeContractor!
Alcumus SafeContractor is a leading accreditation scheme used by thousands of organisations in the UK to demonstrate rigorous standards in health and safety management amongst contractors. Many major clients recognise the scheme and accept the SafeContractor certificate as confirmation of competency in health and safety practice.
Under the SafeContractor scheme, businesses undergo a vetting process which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via a website.
Client organisations who sign up to the scheme can access the database, enabling them to vet potential contractors before they even set foot on site. These clients agree that, as users of the scheme, they will engage only those who have received accreditation. Over 450 major, nationwide businesses, from several key sectors, have signed up to use the scheme when selecting contractors for services such as building, maintenance, refurbishment, or electrical and mechanical work.
Alcumus SafeContractor is a UKAS accredited Inspection body covering the SSIP Core Criteria element of the SafeContractor Assessment Standard. All SSIP assessments are judged on core criteria approved by HSE.

Well, another year is winding down, and what a year it’s been! Here at Otto Simon, we decided to celebrate all the hard work and dedication of our fantastic team with an evening of festive fun, delicious food, and a touch of wanderlust! A huge, heartfelt thank you goes out to Anna for orchestrating what was a truly splendid Christmas gathering. From the atmospheric lighting to the perfectly planned tapas, Anna, you outdid yourself. Our merry band descended upon Trunk Lounge in Bramhall, and it was fantastic to see such a great turnout, proving that even after a busy year, we still love spending time together! Now, every good story has a new chapter, and for one of our own, that chapter involves packing a very large suitcase! We had the pleasure of raising a glass (or several!) to Chris and his partner Lydia, who are embarking on an incredible year-long adventure, travelling the globe, we are not jealous at all. From all of us at Otto Simon, we wish Chris and Lydia the very best of luck on their incredible journey. We are all sure looking forward to reliving your amazing memories with you upon your return. We would like to end the year with sincere thanks to our Clients, Partners and Staff for all their efforts over the past year and are looking forward to another busy and rewarding year in 2026.
