Principals often require that contractors working for them have a valid SCC certificate, particularly in the petrochemical industry. It proves that a subcontractor's internal processes have been measured against best practices in safety management of hazardous work and found compliant with the recognised standard.
Certification shows that, as a subcontractor, you deliver to the standards that your customers require and that they need not have concerns about your committment to and deployment of safety systems. It clearly demonstrates specific valued aspects of your business including:
- Skilled employees
- Professional safety mangement procedures and systems
- A strong committment towards safety
- Verified competencies
Improving the safety performance of the contracting industry and reducing the number of plant incidents safeguards lives and prevents damage to the environment. It is not just the organisation that benfits, but also its employees and the general public.
