Triplar is undertaking accreditation through two industry leading schemes to underline the company’s on-going commitment to Environmental Health and Safety

While only applicable to work undertaken in the UK, participation in the Considerate Constructors Scheme and PAS82 – which specifies a shop fitting management system – will benefit Triplar’s retail display and shop fitting operations in Europe and beyond.

The Considerate Constructors Scheme outlines a number of criteria focused on improving on-site working practices and include:

• Being Considerate (to all parties affected by your work)
• Focus on the Environment
• Appearance
• Being a Good Neighbour
• Being Respectful
• Focus on Safety
• Being Responsibe
• Being Accountable

Two inspections are due to take place in the coming weeks before Triplar is assured a place on the scheme.

Created for the shop fitting industry, PAS82 has been developed by the National Association of Shopfitters (NAS) with the British Standards Institution (BSI) to raise standards within the industry. It promotes quality and best practice procedures and provides recommendations on various business aspects, including:

• Corporate governance
• Health, Safety and Environmental policies
• Training
• Innovation and Value Engineering
• Customer Service

Accreditation will follow a detailed application and assessment process that will hopefully be completed early in 2012.
