Health and Safety Compliance Grading Audit, and

While providing employers with a variety of training services and initiatives along with an elaborate, comprehensive Safety Programme and in addition offering to conduct a Health and Safety Compliance Grading Audit, SafetyWallet caters extensively for advertising.

It is a tedious task when considering the difficulty involved for small and medium-sized contractors and suppliers in adhering to Health and Safety requirements despite the main business adhering to such and implementing new ways to ensure Health and Safety.

The engagement between SafetyWallet members and contractors and suppliers involves certain health and safety responsibilities for both the contractor and/or supplier and any other participant affected by their activities.

While contractors and suppliers are subjected to their own legal health and safety responsibilities, members, or the business under which they work, are still responsible to ensure that contractors and suppliers adhere to the overall health and safety regulations.

One of the main reasons for this difficulty is the financial burden and the constraints that exists when Health and Safety measures are put in place, and the adherence to such.

SafetyWallet   addresses this issue head-on through the Rewards Discount and furthermore, in addition to this, SafetyWallet provides a further 12.5% Rewards Discount when the SafetyWallet Contractors and Suppliers benefit is used.

In using this, businesses, and subsequent members, are eligible for a maximum Return on Investment, or more commonly known as ROI, on the Health and Safety Programme that the business implements and maintains.

Small to medium businesses and their contractors

SafetyWallet works not only to promote the Health and Safety of a business, but also works to extend the coverage to the contractors and suppliers of the particular business that joins as a member.

Contractor management may be tedious at the absolute best of times, and SafetyWallet provides incentives based on the number of contractors and suppliers, along with the level of compliance that forms part of the entire compliance portfolio.

SafetyWallet rewards members according to the following tiered rewards system for contractors and suppliers:

20 Contractors/Suppliers – an additional 10% rewards discount, and

-

The reason why SafetyWallet has the reward system pertaining specifically to the contractors and suppliers that a member has is due to the importance of ranking on the contractor and supplier vendor database.

This database is crucial as it holds significant potential in the growth of a business according to the compliance displayed in the audit.

It can bring in a lot more business for the member as members have the option to be visible on the SafetyWallet Contractors and Suppliers vendors platform where other SafetyWallet members can search for a particular service that they require.

Depending on the search term, existing members on the platform will appear on the search result with the rankings of businesses being listed according to their ranking on the beforementioned SafetyWallet Contractor and Supplier vendor database.

By obtaining a higher ranking, members have a better chance of appearing higher up on search results, and this makes it significantly easier for other members and businesses to find them and make use of their services, leading to substantial exposure and growth.
