Members of the UK GreenHealth, Safety and Environmental Issues
Levolux recognises the importance of safety, health and welfare in the successful operation of its activities and believes in the active participation and co-operation of its employees and subcontractors in order to achieve and maintain the highest possible standards.
In order to demonstrate its commitment to maintaining the highest possible standards in health, safety and environmental practices, Levolux has become accredited under the following national schemes.
Achilles Building Confidence
Achilles has developed BuildingConfidence – a supplier pre-qualification and accreditation service for the UK construction industry.
BuildingConfidence provides benefits to buyers and suppliers by using:
Web-based technologies to increase operational efficiencies and reduce the costs associated with pre-qualification for clients, major contractors and their suppliers
On-site audits with industry leading auditors to help suppliers measure their own performance and share this data with their clients and major contractors.
BuildingConfidence is quickly becoming recognised as the standard for supplier excellence within the industry. Major contractors are using the service to evaluate their supply chains, drive up performance and forge longer lasting relationships with key suppliers.
Construction Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS)
CHAS is established as the market leader for health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It is a non-commercial scheme available to suppliers (those who provide goods and services) and to organisations (buyers) looking for suitably competent suppliers.
Being CHAS approved reduces duplication as suppliers compliance is accepted by all CHAS buyers. Both CHAS and Constructionline schemes are linked, where CHAS focuses on the health and safety element of pre-qualification, Constructionline focuses on other areas including financial standing and technical references.
CHAS assesses applicants:
Health and safety policy statement;
Their organisation for health and safety;
Their specific health and safety arrangements to a standard acceptable to our buyers and to others.
Environment
Furthermore, to underline its environmental credentials, Levolux undertakes a comprehensive annual environmental audit and calculates its carbon emissions in order to make reductions and to offset its CO2 emissions in order to become a ‘Climate Neutral’ company.
