Powerfleet Awarded Alcumus SafeContractor Accreditation for Excellence in Health and Safety
Leading AIoT and fleet management provider shows a steadfast commitment to workplace safety standards and best practices.
Powerfleet has received accreditation from Alcumus SafeContractor, recognizing its excellence in health and safety management. The certificate, valid until May 14, 2026, confirms that Powerfleet has met the stringent SafeContractor Assessment Standards necessary for approval.
Alcumus SafeContractor is the UK’s foremost health and safety accreditation scheme and the largest Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) provider with accreditation. The scheme is trusted by more than 37,000 contractors throughout the UK and used by over 50,000 organizations worldwide, including 450 major brands.
Demonstrating Excellence Through Rigorous Assessment
The SafeContractor accreditation process involves a comprehensive evaluation of health and safety procedures, a track record of safe practice, and adherence to documentation standards. The accreditation demonstrates to potential clients that organizations take risk assessments seriously and understand the importance of adopting comprehensive risk management.
“Our renewed accreditation to the Safe Contractor standard this year serves to illustrate Powerfleet’s commitment to continual improvement,” said Chris Allen, Best Practice and Compliance Manager at Powerfleet. “As our business rapidly evolves, so does the passion of its staff for the assurance of best practice in everything we do. Excellence in the provision of services to our customers, and the health, safety, and occupational well-being of all those that may be affected by our acts or omissions is embedded in our ethos.”
Strategic Benefits for Business Growth
The SafeContractor certification provides peace of mind by demonstrating health and safety compliance to customers, while also saving time and money when tendering for new work in the UK. For contractors, this accreditation enhances marketability and accessibility to projects, as it’s frequently a basic prerequisite for bidding on tenders.
The accreditation ensures that Powerfleet can work with major organizations in the UK that require SafeContractor certification from their suppliers. Many leading UK companies, including those in the FTSE 100, specify SafeContractor accreditation as a mandatory requirement for their supply chain partners.
SSIP Recognition and Mutual Benefits
As part of the SafeContractor scheme, Powerfleet’s accreditation is recognized under the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) framework. SSIP is the mutual recognition scheme for occupational health and safety standards that operates as an umbrella organization to reduce duplication and costs for both suppliers and buyers.
Commitment to Safety Excellence
As a leader in AIoT and fleet and asset management solutions, Powerfleet recognizes the critical importance of maintaining the highest safety standards both within the organization and for its customers. The company’s proactive approach focuses on prevention rather than reaction, helping organizations detect and address risks before they escalate into incidents.
Powerfleet’s comprehensive safety solutions span from warehouse operations to on-road transportation. In warehouse environments, the company’s AIoT solutions help prevent forklift-pedestrian accidents through proximity detection and real-time alerts. For on-road safety, VisionAI dashcam technology monitors driver behavior, detecting fatigue and distraction while providing immediate coaching to prevent accidents before they happen.
With commercial fleet accident rates at 20% annually, Powerfleet’s integrated approach enables fleet managers to identify unsafe behaviors, engage drivers in performance improvement, and implement real-time safety interventions that have been shown to reduce collisions by up to 60%.
Looking Forward
Powerfleet’s SafeContractor accreditation reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence and accountability to partners and customers. “This achievement underscores our dedication to maintaining rigorous safety standards while continuing to develop innovative AIoT technologies that prioritize worker and driver safety across all operational environments,” added Allen.
“The SafeContractor accreditation positions Powerfleet to continue serving clients who demand the highest standards of safety and compliance, while demonstrating the company’s commitment to creating safer working environments for all stakeholders.”
