Fortress Technology Receives Safe Contractor Accreditation

Leading designer and manufacturer of high performance "Phantom" metal detector systems Fortress Technology has recently been awarded Safe Contractor Accreditation. Operated by SAFEcontractor, the scheme recognises companies in the UK, such as Fortress, who attain the highest standards of health and safety practice.

Sarah Ketchin, Managing Director of Fortress Technology, explains: "Receipt of this latest accolade further demonstrates our commitment to achieving excellence in all aspects of our business practice."

Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process designed to examine health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting the high standards are included on a special database, which is accessible to registered users via www.safecontractor.com.

Darren Hughes, Operations Director of SAFEcontractor comments: "More businesses need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Fortress Technology has done. The company's high standard has set an example, which will hopefully be followed by others."

Established in the UK since 1999, Fortress Technology offers an extensive range of Phantom branded metal detection systems for a variety of industries including food, pharmaceutical, lumber, plastics and textiles.
