As a tradesman, having access to reliable tools is critical to your job. Whether you need them for just a day or for an extended period, hiring tools can be a cost-effective solution. However, not all tool hire companies are created equal, and not all offer the same level of service. That's where SafeHire certification comes in. In this blog post, we'll explain what SafeHire certification is and why it's essential for you.
Firstly, let's define SafeHire certification. Essentially, it's a set of standards set out by Hire Association Europe (HAE), the leading trade association for hire and rental companies in the United Kingdom. SafeHire certification is awarded to hire companies that meet these standards, which cover everything from health and safety to customer service to risk management. By choosing a SafeHire certified company, you can be sure that you're dealing with a reputable and trustworthy provider.
So, why is SafeHire certification so important for tradesmen?
