AR Power is proud to announce that they have successfully achieved Achilles Silver Plus Supplier accreditation and SafeContractor recertification, including accreditation under the Principal Designer (PD) and Principal Contractor (PC) criteria within the assessment.
This milestone reflects their continued commitment to the highest standards of health and safety, compliance and professional excellence across all areas of operations.
The schemes are leading third-party accreditations that rigorously assesses businesses on their health and safety policies, procedures and overall risk management systems. Achieving certification demonstrates that AR Power meets nationally recognised standards and operates in full alignment with current legislation and industry best practice.
Importantly, the SafeContractor accreditation extends beyond core contractor requirements. The inclusion of Principal Designer and Principal Contractor criteria within the SafeContractor assessment further validates the company’s capability to manage and coordinate health and safety responsibilities at every stage of a project lifecycle.
Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM), Principal Designers and Principal Contractors carry significant legal duties to plan, manage, monitor and coordinate health and safety throughout construction projects. Successfully meeting these additional criteria confirms that AR Power has the systems, competence and leadership in place to fulfil those roles responsibly and effectively.
For their clients and partners, this provides additional assurance that projects delivered are underpinned by robust governance, clear risk management processes and a proactive safety culture.
Commenting on the successful accreditations, Chris Balmer, Operations Director at AR Power, said, “Safety is not simply a compliance requirement, it is embedded within our operations. From initial design and planning through to installation and project completion, we prioritise the wellbeing of our employees, clients, subcontractors and the wider public.
Successfully passing the assessments demonstrates not only that our systems are comprehensive but that they are actively implemented and maintained.’
Chris continued, ‘As our business continues to grow and deliver increasingly complex solar PV projects, maintaining independent accreditation remains a key part of our strategic commitment to excellence.
This is testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance. Achievements such as this are only possible through consistent effort, strong leadership and a shared commitment to doing things the right way.
AR Power remains focused on continuous improvement and will continue investing in systems, training, and governance to ensure we not only meet industry standards but exceed them wherever possible.’
